a story that will have a happy ending, soon (slightly OT)

[Steve Jackson-5]

I was surfing on eBay and found auction #5852424318
for a partially-built K2, under circumstances I have
not seen before -- and certainly wish that it was not
so.  

The rig is being sold by the owner's widow.  

I did not know the sk N9PT myself, but I'd bet a
dollar he'd have wanted that rig completed and put on
the air.  I wish I could buy it myself and do just
that!

Hopefully the new owner will come on here and let us
know when this particular radio is finished.

FWIW it looks like it's almost done. If you're looking for a shortcut to a
K2 this could be your ticket.

I really must ask. How come the moderator on QRP-L says that NO mention
of eBay is permitted, because the owner of QSL.NET/QTH.NET forbids it,
yet I see it frequently here on the Elecraft list? Could there be some
prevarication involved here?

How come this question is on the Elecraft list? Shouldn't it be on the QRP-L
list?

Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456

ps: Admittedly, I'm curious about the answer too<g>.

For one thing, I am not a member of QRP-L any longer, and for another, I
was curious if this list was subjected to the same constraints.

But why ask the question in public?  Asking the original poster or the
moderator of QRP-L in email would have been a less tendentious way of
getting your answer, it seems to me.

Perhaps there is a previous track record of the moderator of QRP-L not
answering questions from various individuals.

So sorry. Of course, YOUR public post slapping my wrist is not
"tendentious." (Bet that has folks at their dictionaries...or asking
their 8th graders). But then, in gives one such a warm, fuzzy feeling to
be righteously indignant.

a) We don't have an answer yet, and
b) I'm not sure tendentious means what Joe thinks it means. Dictionary.com
sez: "Marked by a strong tendency in favor of a particular point of view."
Heck, he's just asking a question<g>. I figured it had something to do with
typing, as tendons are used.

I believe that qth.net was using a filter which dropped any messages  
with a mention of that site.  Perhaps that has changed or maybe this  
combination of upper/lower case didn't get caught by the filter.

It wasn't list-specific.

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ]

Guys - Lets end this thread immediately. No more postings, please.

It is absolutely OK to mention eBay listings here when the items are
among the areas we already say are OK to mention for sale on this
reflector. (Elecraft items, related ham stuff etc.) To my knowledge each
list owner can make their own decision on what is OK to post. There is
no global edict from qth.net.

And guys, if you have a problem with someone's posting, please never
post your complaint to the list. We have enough traffic without postings
of that type and there is no justification for public statements of this
type.

Personal attacks (on or -off- list) may result in removal from the list
at my discretion. Let's remember that this is a relaxed, cordial group,
and there is no excuse to directly and personally criticize anyone -
period. :-) If you have a problem, feel you have been wronged,
slandered, etc., please email me directly and I'll make the decision on
how to deal with it.

Just keep repeating: "Its only a hobby, Its only a hobby..." ;-)

73, Eric   WA6HHQ

Hello all,

Regarding QRP-l and the mention of E-bay. I made the mistake of trying
to help some fellow hams out who were looking for 2 meter crystals and
pointed them to an E-bay auction, I did this on QRP-l.
Since that incident, all my posts are now "awaiting moderator approval".
I questioned the moderator about this and was pointed to the following URL:

http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/qrp-l

specifically

"While this list may be used to buy, sell, trade or seek QRP equipment
for sale, no auctions are to be conducted, discussed, facilitated or
referred to in any way. Violators of this policy will be subject to
moderation without notice. To be clear, this pertains especially to
eBay. Anyone using the list to promote his own auction will be removed
from the list without warning. "

So, please don't make the same foolish mistake I made. You will find
yourself banished to the "Pointless Forest". I have learned my lesson,
the rules must be obeyed or you will be in trouble.

They are watching.
