[FC] Corvanatics list/Moderator

[Ken Hand]

 OK Everyone,

Before to many jump on the bad wagon with all kinds of posts, Bob is correct in what he says and the situation is being dealt with. I had already privately said something to the party(s) that needed it.

We don't need to make this a full blown, blow out. If anyone has any problems with the list there is a link at the bottom of every post that will go to the list owner/moderator. Right now that is ME. Also any problems should be directed to the Prez as he does not frequent the list that much. Although, I am going to add him into the mailing for the list owner if anyone has any complaints so both John and I will get the emails.

Thanks for your post Bob, you are correct in what you said.

Hi, Dave--

In principle, I agree with you -- the Corvanatics list should not be a 
substitute for eBay or Craigslist.  But in this case, the listmember 
wrote a brief and concise "parts wanted" note, so I do not find it in 
appropriate.

Admittedly, this individual posts such "parts wanted" messages with some 
frequency, but they are always brief, with a relevant subject line, with 
his name attached, so here again I am not bothered by it.

Further, his notes have been FC-specific, as opposed to being about 
Corvairs in general or even other vehicles.

Were any individual posting regularly to sell items, such that it began 
to border on commercial enterprise, then I might sing a different tune.  
If any individual were to abuse the privilege, seeking or offering parts 
not relevant to FC owners, I might view things differently.

But in general, I find messages such as the recent "parts wanted" 
listing to be consistent with the notion of FC owners helping one another.

--Bob
