YES. The list is to enable MG enthusiasts to converse on
topics of mutual interest, to help each other with "words of wisdom gained
from the best teacher - personal experience", and to provide entertainment
[somewhat] related to MGs.
I suggest whenever someone on this list receives such a
"reply and quote" requesting a fee,
1. Reply "NO THANKS; GET OFF THE LIST"
I was going to suggest that you post the address to the list and we
could all bombard him/her with unpleasantries, but why waste your bandwidth
(breath). Once they receive a hundred "NO THANKS; GET OFF THE LIST", maybe,
just MAYBE, they'll get the hint.
