Dear OBRA list, one of my 900 closest friends thinks I am abusing the OBRA

list with my ads for bikes & parts. I'm not talking about the posting

informing everyone about the secure on-line payment method, just the

occasional ad for a bike or a part. There used to be a place on the OBRA

web site for classifieds so that if one chose to look at ads they could go

there and look. That is gone now. This particular friend of mine that

complained says there is a difference between "casual" ads and my "type" of

ads. I don't think so. I see ads from my other friends on a regular basis

and I am glad for the opportunity to look at, save or delete them.

Tell me what you think. If you don't want my ads, I won't post them, but I

will feel somewhat bitter when I see my other friends ads.

Respond to me directly so you don't bother my 900 friends who don't care.
