Who says that eBay is commercial? It's no more commercial than someone
offering an item directly on this newsgroup as best offer. I don't think we
need to worry about additional a$$holes posting messages here. We've got
one already that thinks his views are the only thing that matters. What
gives you the right to call Tim an a$$hole? After all you did say "how many
OTHER a**holes would be posting their.." That seems a lot like you calling
Tim an a$$hole and that's just plain wrong. I do believe you're out of
touch with reality. Commercial Sales would be when I posted items for sale
that I sold while conducting a commercial venture. Not someone using an
eBay auction and posting a reference or link. You need to apologize to Tim
immediately and promise the newsgroup that you will stop trying to be the
group's unofficial moderator. The time has come when Bill becomes just
another person that posts messages here. I've gotten a few private emails
within the last 10 minutes which reflects their opinion of you and your
attempt at moderating this newsgroup. Let people live. Let people run
their own lives. We are all adults here and don't need anyone telling us
how and what to post.

Hey Bill,
Been watching this one. I know where you're coming from and don't want
Jeep part salesmen turning this into an E-market either. Myself, I don't
mind personal e-bay stuff here and it just makes it a point and click affair
to see whether or not I'm interested. Maybe the charter could be amended
such that an individual could post the link. Perhaps some verbiage about
"one-time" or "occasional" would keep it down but still let us work it?
Just a thought. After all, if he only said, "I'm selling my doors" without
mentioning e-Bay, he'd be fine. If he had any takers, I don't think anybody
would've been too sore if he responded with a link.

You're not a nice person are you? Why call me a troll? Do you know what a
troll is? I doubt it. Again, Bill's speaking about things that he knows
nothing about.

You're asking me to pass along private email to you? Boy you really do have
a hard case of Superman!!! I have been sent private email, get it
"PRIVATE", what part of that don't you understand.

Please lets get back to the subject at hand. You're apology to Tim for
calling him an a$$hole and you're meddling into Tim's personal business.
You still don't get it do you?

Learn to leave people alone. Only come into their homes when invited, only
come into a person's messages when invited.
