[meteorite-list] Frequency of Sale Ads

[Thomas Webb]

Michael and others,
As far as the one ad per week "rule" being a
"gentlemen's agreement", here is Art's post of August
21, 2005:

Subject: [meteorite-list] From the Admin - update on
List Policies 
    
Good Evening;

Here are the latest updates of the List policies (note
# 7 regarding
frequency of advertisement posts) :

1. All posts should be related to meteorites in some
way.
2. All posts should be courteous and professional
(profanity will
result in removal).
3. Do NOT post private messages or personal attacks to
the list.
4. Include a relevant -subject- in the subject field
of the email on 
all posts.
5. Do NOT send HTML or Rich Text formatted emails;
only TEXT will be 
posted.
6. Do NOT send emails with files attached (include a
web link to the 
file). 
7. Advertisement posts should be limited to once a
week - per member.
8. All Advertisement posts should have the word AD in
the subject of 
the email.

Your support of these policies will lead to the
continued success of
this interesting and positive forum environment, thank
you!

Although this is not reflected in the list of rules on
the Meteorite Central Page, this update was directly
from Art.  I don't mind the ads being more frequent
than that but I thought all of you might like to read
what Art had to say on it a little over a year ago
when this subject had heated up again.
My best,
Thomas
