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!
