Because he didn't want our filters against such spammy posts to remove his
garbage from the list.

YEA! What the hell is wrong with these people wanting to actually have
someone bid on their auction.. Man they are greedy. I totally agree. NOT.

Read the original post. NOBODY said there was anything wrong with them
wanting someone to bid. They should simply put FA: in their subject
line.

However, even putting FA: in a newsgroup called *comp.sys.mac.WANTED*
is still pretty stupid. What's even more stupid though is someone
coming along and trying to defend the poster's right to be
inconsiderate /and/ /stupid/.

Yea thanks Gerry - Guess I am an idiot... Ive been on this news group
since 1992... And I have seen this argument so many times. Whatever.

And I did read the original post.. my response was to someone who DID
say that this person was greedy for posting. My words are taken almost
directly from one of the posts.

What I defend is the ability for people to post. Personally I dont
really see it as inconsiderate. Rather ignorant might be a better word
to use.

And we could totally argue this on so many levels.

It is.. Comp.sys.mac.WANTED

This person WANTED to post his auction. So he did... I find that
acceptable.

I have heard the argument that people shouldnt post things forsale
here.. as its NOT comp.sys.mac.forsale....

So if we can SELL stuff, then why not post auctions... I think its
legit. Some people say - YOU ARE WASTING MY BANDWIDTH... get a cable
modem

And actually, an auction IS an item forsale... Its just an item being
SOLD via an auction. What about an item that is forsale at a price or
best offer.. that is a bidding processes.

This is such a silly conversation.....
