>>Dear Jim:
>>You seem to be an intelligent fellow who must have noticed that
>>his list had been hopelessly overrun by barbarians in both
>>content and form.
The list needs people like Andy, JMB traderguy , Visavis et al to keep
the bad barbarians at the gate. I dont think JIm can/ will be an objective
policeman. Its the list members job.
Below are copies of reponses from two years ago to the Omega List , when I
counted three system sellers in one week ; each with atleast two postings
every day.
That time it was Dennis Meyers who took care of them.
His responses are enclosed below. Check the date, and the sytem vendors.
I hope this thread is closed . The vendors have taken note that there are
no more sacrificial lambs .
