Just a minor note about the 'straw that broke the camels back'...I believe
that someone in .au ASKED him to post the information there. I personally
see no problem with advertising items for sale/auction/trade in .au provided
it is either aimed SOLELY at the Australian region, OR run by an Australian.
I believe that most people in this group would agree with this, but if you
don't please let the rest of us know. [silence will be interpreted as
agreement]
