Re: [AMD] Re: Ebay debate

Well, I completely disagree.  I have endured countless posts about number and direction of fan blades, shapes of fuselages, etc., decals and aircraft variants that I don't care about, because those topics are important to many members.  I care about certain decals, certain aircraft, and I feel privileged to be a part of a very knowledgeable group, all members of which have always been very helpful, polite, and tolerant of some of my very basic, newbie, and/or ignorant questions!  While not exactly on point, I am very interested in actual airline and aircraft operations, so I don't mind the occasional sidetrack, and I enjoy historical comments as well.  While I don't troll eBay for airliners (I do for Revell warships), I am always interested to see if someone has a unique model for sale.  That is how I got a 1/144 vacuform Pan American Airways S-40 almost two years ago, though I would rather have had a Panagra S-38.  Or maybe it was an S-42, I
forgot.  See, I am not an expert or a rivet counter, but I greatly enjoy the flexibility that AMD has offered me, including some friendships!  In summary, I think AMD has been fine in allowing the occasional announcement of items going for sale, as the prices are sometimes better than eBay, and it doesn't cost the seller any fees.

Concerning having special "for sale"/"new product" catagories, which in my observation would leave the main message board a deserted wasteland, I suggest changing the List Server name from "Airliner Modelling Digest", to "Airliner Modelling Marketers Digest", as that would better describe its content.

The main reason I don't frequent and contribute to this board like I use to is because it has basically become an endless series of "commercials" .
