Here is the quote which is lifted straight from Brian and is also in the Welcome to the LUG message that every subscriber gets. > We ask that messages about buying and selling cameras be restricted to > Friday.

My interpretation would be that it is polite to wait for Brian's automatic Friday reminders before engaging in any commerce on the LUG. It is a matter of "may I" rather than "can I". A subtle and sophisticated distinction I will grant you, and, one with which many a child has reduced their mother to despair.
