It's interesting that these people who presume to be speaking "for the
rest of the group" are insufficiently acquainted with this long-running
debate to realise how many of us have repeatedly defended the rights of
a genuine Mac-head to offer stuff for sale. This group is - fortunately
­ not a frequent target for spam, is pretty light on traffic, and hence
there can be no reason beyond personal pettyness to object to Andrew's
monthy list of gear. For myself, I find only the objections
objectionable.

But Usenet's a free forum, and if folks want to display the narrowness
of their minds, and expose their foolish expectations that Usenet will
feature only posts that interest them - well, Usenet's a free forum ...
