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.
