If someone only decides to sell an item on a Saturday then, yes, they should wait six days to post. By restricting the ads to the 23:59:59 window of a 'Friday", then we ensure that the rest of the week is restricted to on-topic discussions such as Eric's Nikon experiences and Ted's underwear, not to mention single-malts, automobiles, and firearms. Many other camera lists have a similar restriction: the IDCC, for instance, so rigidly enforces their every-other-Wednesday restriction that folks have been threatened with Being Cast Into The Outer Void. And I have to do a bit of policing on the Rollei List to keep even that genteel bunch in line! And, in any event, rules like this aren't subject to discussion: the List Manager imposed this one and we are guests in his house. I wouldn't want the LUG to become a repository for ads. I like it the way it is. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
