Hi All.. Today I read a post that was basically a complaint about a vendor. It seems the individual did not like the vendors use of the IML to say " I have this part - e mail me privately". Now, arent these responses from the vendor in question a reply to a previous public post? Wouldnt someone who was LOOKING for a part needed to have posted earlier in order for that vendor ( or any vendor who is a subscriber ) to be aware of the need? Havent we seen cases of people who find things on ebay or who know of where a repro part is post what they have found on the list? Havent many of us occaisonally posted " I need a .......... does anyone know where I can find one?" and we have all seen responses to these posts? Isnt that part of what the list is all about? Ok.....to the out on a limb part: Isnt going on the list and complaining publicly about what was a PRIVATE transaction some 6 years ago just the same kind of " infraction " that the person who posted the complaint today was talking about? Maybe the person who posted did have a bad experience, maybe not....I wasnt there, but that doesnt mean that I need to hear about it on a public post this morning. I guess thats why they call it " catch -22" Thanks for letting me vent....ok , now the cops can come and cuff me! Mikey 62 Crown Coupe
