Whoa WHOA *** WHOA ***
Clang clang clang, your attention please!

I know that "Don" is a very rare name, but perhaps before making such
a bizzare posting, you might want to look at the LAST name as well.
I'm Don _Meyer_.  The "Don" you are flaming is Don _Gold_ (Golding?),
well something like that.

Since to tone of your post implied that a "for sale" on this group
was in some way frowned upon, I just felt that I'd mention that IMHO
"for sale's" are just fine here.  Now, I'm certainly not the moderator
(no one is) nor am I omniscient.  I figured my post would do two things:

 1) Let others (someone new perhaps) who might wish to post a reasonable
    "for sale", such as yours, know that it was okay.  From the tone
    of your post I felt that a newbie might get the wrong impression.
    If no one objects to non-commercial selling such as yours, why
    apologize?

 2) Let me know if I was wrong about #1 :-), getting back to the
    lack of omniscience (sp?) thing.  The fact that you _didn't_ get
    flamed leads me to believe that I am correct.


Don Meyer,  who hasn't and isn't selling a thing... ;-)
