[cobalt-users] RE: cobalt-users digest, Vol 1 #3243 - 20 msgs

I totally agree with you Carrie.

I see nothing wrong with.  "Hey guys I have
a few Cobalts for sale, contact me if you
are interested"

I am sorry, this is a "Cobalt Users Group"

By the title of the page at
http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-users/

It looks as if this is general discussion on
the Cobalt.  So basically anything thought on the
Cobalt right?

Title as on that page reads:
"cobalt-users -- Mailing list for users to share thoughts on Cobalt
products"

Here is another description I found.

"About cobalt-users  
A forum for users and potential users of Cobalt products to share their
thoughts and expierences with Cobalt products."

I think if some post a quick, "Hey I'mm selling my Raq's" then that
is ok. They are not hiding their identity, then I would say
one post is not spam, repeated post would be.
