Hi Folks,
The relevant rules are below. Permit
me to summarize:
1. We permit the announcement of
freight car-related items for sale. These announcements
should be kept to a minimum, and inquiries directed
off-list.
2. COMPANIES who wish to announce
freight car-related items for sale shall post their
announcements between noon Friday EST and Saturday 11:59PM
EST.
In my judgement, Clark Propst’s email
meets the spirit and the letter of the rules.
Regards,
-Jeff Aley,
Deputy Moderator, STMFC
“Announcements of frt car related
items for sale are permitted BUT actual
lists of items should be made
available from the seller upon request rather
than in the message. Announcements
of such sales should be kept at a
minimum. The primary objective of
the group is to exchange information
concerning the subject.
Messages regarding the selling of
products as part of a commercial
enterprise must be sent during the
period of noon Friday EST and Saturday
midnight EST.
Each seller is allowed one message
unless a correction is needed. Seller
messages MUST include OFF GROUP
addresses for replies. Replies by members to
seller messages MUST be OFF GROUP.”
I
read the group description and goals and see no
mention of selling, etc. I would prefer this group
NOT become flea market but still welcome someone
selling kits or completed cars, parts or being made
aware of new products. Some folks don't have a lot
of contacts in which to be informed about things so
we should be able to share here.
I
would appreciate having a moderator get in this
conversation with a YEA or NAY for us.
