There's one of these on eBay:

He asked for assistance with finding an electronic device.
What's more, he got an immediate answer.
In fact I am amazed anyone had one for sale these days.

What's the problem JeffM?

Cheers Don...

JeffM... thank you for so graciously pointing out my ignorance. You
may feel better to know that I am not exclusively a Google Groups
user. That said, with 99.8% of the posts to these boards being spam I
don't feel too bad about posting a science/computer/electronics
related WTB. Nuff said... at least by me. I'm sure you'll take the
time to opine more.

You see all that spam, because it is posted by other Google Groopers.
Real news servers trap most of it and no one else sees it.

If you would like to amend the charter for s.e.b.,
feel free to propose that.
In the meantime, as mentioned,
that charter *explicitly* forbids buy-or-sell posts.

If the OP wanted to be *technically* within policy,
he could have posted something NOT forbidden
and put his request in his sig.

In the meantime, he's a selfish, ignorant, off-topic poster
and you are a defender of his aberrant behavior.

Is there some reason you think the OTHER newsgroups that
YOU failed to have the courtesy to remove from your rant
*care* about s.e.b's charter?

You don't belong in a.f.c; thus, you also have violated something.

Depends on where "here" is. Since I've never seen JeffM on a.f.c
before, I assume he's a denizen of c.a.e or s.e.b where the conventions
might be different. I agree it's not too out of line on a.f.c, but I
wouldn't want to see this NG overrun with buying and selling.

Don, although Jeff is technically correct about the newsgroup
charter, I'm with you on this subject. At least his post is
on-topic, which many posts in newsgroups are not.

I recall some years ago when I posted a new product press release
for my company in this newsgroup, and got blasted by a gentleman
who must have been having a bad spam day.

You consoled me as you did Timothy, and I thank you for your
common sense.

Now, back to electronics and microcontrollers.....

Seems like my post started a firestorm.

While JeffM's response was nothing short of pure rude (which is never
appropriate) he is correct that these are not marketplace forums... my
mistake.

Sincerely,

Tim

According to earlier discussions on a.f.c. personal sales/purchases
of relevant equipment is OK.

To be relevant it has to be somewhat connected to computers, and
at least 20 years old. There seems to be substantial leeway for
newer, recreated systems too.

So, if I want to part with a pre 5xxx series Prime 50-series machine,
a commodore 64, a PDP6, or even a brand new PDP10 board, I may post a
small advert here.

A WTB heathkit eprom programmer is definatly OK in a.f.c, provided it
is followed by at least 4 articles of thread drift.

It's been getting overrun with that other shit ever since that guy
posted here. I conclude he was a troll looking for new newsgroups
to sell to spammers.

IMO, preservation of old knowledge is the utmost importance. We were
not in the business to publish mistakes like they do in the science
biz.

It looks like the computer biz is reinventing all the wheels again.

[puzzled emoticon here] Shouldn't that be n articles of 4 thread
drifts with knots in between?

Just elide the WTBs and talk about being interested in finding a
foodlyfart so you can play with it.
