BRHSlisters,
We have a case here where our list moderator was trying to send me a
personal email and accidentally posted it to the list. We all (me included)
need to be more careful to double check that emails are appropriately
addressed before hitting the send button.
If everyone will double check the Commercial Posting Policy just delivered,
item No. 9 stated "Non-commercial posts from subscribers should not contain
any "signature footer" promoting the commercial venture -
i.e. - phone number, web site, sales terms, etc..."
This is a tough one to call, as Milepost 206 is requesting photos, and in
order for the photos to be sent, you need the address. While this does
violate the letter of the law, I feel that it doesn't violate the
spirit...no formal warning will be issued.
While we are on the subject, there was another innocent bending of the
policy - when John Olson mentioned in passing "I have had them on the
shelves now for several weeks..." - again no formal warning will be issued.
I'm making the assumption that these were inadvertent, and not intentional
"testing" of the policy... just like John's mis-posting of the email to me
asking for clarification.
All I ask is for all of us to use common sense and to be careful in our
posts.

Where does it say ...I have this book for sale...in the message????
I do not see any soliciting for sales in it.
