Nope, you missed MY point. I don't have a problem with anyone selling stuff
on this list. I buy and sell cars and restore VW's for a living. My only
problem with this last one was that he posted THREE (3) Tres, all saying the
same/similar/identical things about one (1) singular Volkswagen (Bus)
Vanagon. IMHO (I Think) I believe that it could have been done with one
post. I am only guessing that he was trying to hit all the keywords for
people that receive in Digest mode, but imagine if everyone that posted
something for sale on this list placed 3 posts.

Still, at least nobody is flaming around about Mac's or Tires. Guess you
gotta take the bad with the good.

Point... now counterpoint...

As someone who someday wants to pick up a full Westy, I appreciate these
posts from time to time.  I'd much rather buy one from someone on the list
than froma  stranger or from Ebay (which scares me to death!).

So I find these posts useful and valuable.

Just my opinion.
