Charles... thank you.
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.

In fact I am amazed anyone had one for sale these days.
What's the problem JeffM?
If you would like to amend the charter for s.e.b.,

As such, a WTB post is inappropriate in each of them.

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.
Did you get it?Charles... thank you.

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.
For which we are indebted, of course, to our rude friend.A WTB heathkit eprom programmer is definatly OK in a.f.c, provided it
is followed by at least 4 articles of thread drift.

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.

Just elide the WTBs and talk about being interested in finding aSeems 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.
