"I checked the archive.  This year alone, Steve Arnold Chicago had on this 
list 76 ADs.  His worst month was January with only a single AD, his best 
November with 16 ADs."

"The rest of his posts consisted mainly of Wanted-Ads;  reports, which 
specimens he just bought (to resell them in most cases after
a short while); chatting-ups to reputable sellers; garnished with 
announcements to quit collecting/selling forever, promises to obey to the 
list rules in future, questions, which he could have answered easily by 
himself, in reading a beginners book or using google
and lachrymose complaints, that in his innocence, he couldn't understand, 
that he is attacked by list members."

"108 ADs he had last year, although he was banned for 3 months.  The shock 
from the ban lasted exactly 3 months, Nov 05 - Jan 06, one Ad per month - 
since last February the notorious mess again."

Martin,

If Art is OK with Steve's posts, so am I.

I am bedazzled how you spent your valuable time compiling THOSE statistics!

Best wishes, Doug
