It is a bit odd to complain about excessive posting by posting a message with 27 attachments. Personally I just use the delete button to deal with all the messages that I don't want to read. There are currently no rules for posting other then that you have to be a list member to post. Only OBRA members can be list members. The postings are unmoderated because the job of moderating them was another thing added on top of what Candi already does for OBRA. Originally she had planned to have 2 lists, one open to all posts like the current list, and one moderated to only contain race results and announcements. There were complaints about that system, people felt they either got too many messages or too few. In addition it still required time to moderate. If there are going to be more rules about use of the OBRA list then either someone will need to step forward to volunteer to be the list moderator or the rules will need to be self enforced. Personally I vote for just hitting delete.

It appears that some people are using our OBRA Chat forum for commercial purposes. Attached are several of Mr. John Lackeys excessive (in my humble opinion) emails since October 3, 2000. I think we got the picture that the Raleigh 3 speeds are for sale on the first post, why are they posted 3 times? Everyone please post your thoughts on how often it is appropriate for an individual to post sale items on OBRA Chat. I am thinking an average of once a week (max) is good rule. What do you think?
