The Art of Tea, Issue #2

Irrelevant, the mere presence of .marketplace does not inherently prohibit commercial posts in all other groups, just the groups in that immediate hierarchy. If there was a RFDT.marketplace then I would agree that the protocol would be to put all commercial posts there, but there is no such group. If we, as a group, felt strongly about this we could always start a petition for such a group.

Again, I ask for a reference backing up this claim as I cant find one, and I have sincerely looked.

True, protocol dictates that you respect the groups charter.

Neither of these documents support your claim.

All of this is "bait and switch" anyway. The original claim that I challenged was that "commercial advertisement is prohibited by this group's charter" it then morphed into "Commercial posting is prohibited by the REC hierarchy". Without a reference to support either claim, I stand by mine. Just because we all find it distasteful does not mean it is prohibited.

The Charter simply states the purpose of the group. Everything else including prohibited commercial posting is USENET. I'll do some more homework for you when I get a chance. The marketplace groups are normally formed by the responsible advertizers not discussion groups telling them to get lost. 2.5 million posts across 34 REC marketplace groups ain't discussion. If it makes you feel better the REC hierarchy prohibits commercial posting in discussion groups except where specifically designated normally with the .markeplace extention. Someone is giving me a used MAC with 10.0 so it might be more fun looking through a different Window ;-).

It's really quite a pity that these posts have taken this direction. Those of us who may have been interested in the headings, I'm sure, have become tired of this cranky, curmudgeon-like, leaning toward ridiculously irrelevant, and even nasty dialogue. Jim, it seems you have a real need to have the last word. There is a point, however, when an intelligent person reasons that "enough is enough". Shen

I think you are serious and I will do the research when I can. It's probably in the same place where it says you can't post binaries in the discussion groups. Well I got the MAC without a mouse which was scrubbed clean from a University sale for $35. All it has is a folder with an alternating smiley face and a question mark. I thought MAC was suppose to be intuitive. Now I have to go into the MAC groups and find out what to do next.
