- Why bother asking how others feel? You certainly don't give much
- consideration to K. Fitzpatrick's opinions, which were right on
- target. See also D. Stewart's opinions, with which I also agree.
-
- There's no reason the miniboard can't be mentioned, but it has long
- ago grown tiresome. Use private email to coordinate your orders, or
- set up a new group. A great deal of patience has been shown so far,
- mainly because it was frequently pointed out that no one was making
- much money (or that they were in fact losing money). But IBM's not
- making much money now, either, and we don't allow them to post sales
- pitches or coordinate their shipping on the net. Financial transactions
- are just not appropriate, nor are complaints from customers, etc.
