Tim's right - I have no control over people who use this list, and its not
my place to tell them how to deal with others or run their transactions...
all I can really do is kick someone off if they try to screw someone else
over.  Honestly, thats as far as I want to get involved with it. 8-)

On a non-list-related note, anybody on the list involved with ham
radio / scanners, and/or have any old scanning radio(s) in their closet
they might want to part with?  I'm getting involved with a new hobby 
(well, not REALLY new; my parents are police) so that I dont spend 18 hours
a day ont he computer in some form or fashion. 8-)
