Doug, if we are allowd to do "send me alist/catalog" then the other way around in 8mm forum, somebody may say "send me a PM how to fix a GS1200"
In General Yak, a member will say "I have a funny accident, send me an email to know it"
In equipment wanted category, I will write "I am looking for an 8mm equipment, send me a PM to know what I am looking for"....
This forum is supposed to share the information, not such things...
One big thing I just found ...apparently as per the forum rules say, I quote:
quote: RULE #10: Rules regarding the Equipment Wanted/For Sale category.:
UNACCEPTABLE:
If you are just advertising your normal line of goods, this is not the place for you. Go away. If you are discontinuing something from your normal line of goods, posting a note here stating "we are almost sold out" will be deleted. If your post says something such as "contact us for a catalog", just turn around right now.
So I guess we have to follow the forum rules. It is your decision now, Doug.
Cheers,

OK then Doug fair enough you are the moderator here,
Adrian, just to clarify why I was disturbed, while I was not interested with the list has been explained on my earlier post.
It was supposed this forum is to share information. My view is posts such as "where is the list?", "I have not received it", "send me a list" is not information that is informative.
In fact another forum that we all know has now stated a new rule whoever use to post only for selling his/her films then he/she was asked to use ebay and will no longer be able to post.
Another thing which I raised too is about the internet traffic. The more uninformative posts such as "where is the list?", "I have not received it", "send me a list" is a burden cost to the owner of the forum. However since Brad Miller has no objection for this matter, so I don't see any more problem here.
We cannot say "just ignore if you don't like the post", because the more uninformative information in the forum is the harder we found specific topics we are looking for using google or the forum search engine. Again this is about the internet traffic since server is flooded with so many texts that must be sorted out. (ps: Have you found it is disturbing now when searching on google with keywords "super 8" or "8mm" you are flooded with the information about "Super 8" a film of Steven Spielberg and "8mm" a film of Nicolas Cage? that such the thing)
I share the view that hijacking post and criticizing the prices are not a good manner
cheers,
