I agree with Philippe 100%!!! This is a discussion list, and shouldn't be
used for commercial purposes. (See the Rules for Business use at
http://www.team.net )!
I don't mind the occasional "car forsale" or "transmission forsale". But
things then get out of hand, and if you want to sell your goods...then the
Autojumble list is the place for you. The Autojumble list is moderated by
MJB, and only relevant emails get thru.
Send an email to:
majordomo@autox.team.net
WITH the word " SUBSCRIBE AUTOJUMBLE " in the message body.
Minor advertising like "hey I just got the new aluminum MGB heads in, and
they look great" is OK. I think that is very helpful...but things like:
FORSALE:
1. Steer Rack...$xxx
2. MGA Frame...$xxx
3. SU HS4s...$xxx
etc, etc, etc...
that kind of advertising doesn't belong here. Don't get me wrong, I'm not
saying that all the commercial LBC guys on the lists should leave, they are
a great help.
There are other avenues to take when representing a business on the
Internet. (setup your own email list for advertising, like BPC has
done...or setup a website and put the address in your signature (indirect
adverting).
Cheers,
Kai
