In a message dated 96-02-26 12:23:32 EST, you write: >We already have a table of vendors on the web pages.

I would propose that a call be made as to the PW/SC issue at this point.... My recollection of PW response to your ad warning was that the deletion of the SC postscripts was not only appropriate, but an AGREED action by Mr. Wales..... There are SEVERAL vendors that lurk this list and have easy pickens to the "direct" posting for individual sales..... From a marketing standpoint, that is a lot of work. It is much easier to cc: Coimbra for maximum coverage and effect.... My thinking is that Mr. Wales should HAVE to work as hard as the rest of the vendors, by following this protocol.... If we do not make him do so, and allow him to continue at his current SC salutation, you have opened the forum of post to allow any and all vendors to do the same.... It is the fair and equitable thing to do with all do respect to Mr. Wales, or more appropriately, to HIS competition. If you continue that argument string, this net will become the on-line "QuattroCar Magazine" complete with SC, IA, Hoppen, as well as Dealer ads discussed late last year. On this topic, you have made yourself well understood, Dan, and Mr. Wales has continually ignored any type of self-regulation/control in this respect. So, outside forces are necessary here; ie, you da man...... We are not, nor should not be, an easy target for the Peter Wales of the world. That is not the intent nor spirit of this net. I remain a strong advocate of proper protocol, the intrigue of "black box" secrets should not be our alluring Siren. Cuz, bottom line, Peter is a business man, and has demonstrated a strong desire to be more SC than PW in his posts to date. And clearly, a vendor, by definition. Scott
