Just an observation
It cost me $50 to put an ad in autotrader for my Z28. SOLD
It cost me about $60 to put my Z28 on eBay. Reserve not met
It cost me $50 to put my RX-7 Convertible on eBay. SOLD
It cost me $18 a year to be a member of Rennllist.
I sold stuff on Rennlist, I also paid John to be a member before I took the liberty of using his bandwith to sell something.
Is this the same car?:

actually, tried to sign up - need help from mod
Just so you guys know, I did try to sign up first prior to posting the ad (notice time on emails and first post time). The order got rejected for some insane reason and I could not sign up on the actual site and had to go to some CCNOW website. I actually sent the mod a note to help me sign up.
So pls go easy on the comments and the mod can send me a note anytime (harry_work@hotmail.com) to help sign up.
Thx.

If I dared try to make money by say opening a hot dog stand on your front lawn, I bet you would be "childish" as well.
This board has evolved into a community, a sort of dysfunctional family. I appreciate having the board, don't mind paying my dues, and will continue to act "childish" when someone comes here and tries to make money without paying their dues.

tom, i am sure the modest $18 he charges from everyone here more than covers the hosting costs, not including any sponsorship money. i run a few boards myself and know a bit about what it takes to keep things operational. hosting prices these days is pretty cheap, and bandwidth is almost a past issue with add-on packages.
so the guy posted a car for sale without having his membership finalized. big deal. if that's all the harm done, who cares. why make such a stink about it and make the guy feel like a jerk? you getting some kind of kick back? how about something a little more tactful like "hey, nice car. you know, it helps to please the more uptight members of the board if you register as a member before you post an itme for sale. welcome!"

Next time I will be more tactful, and consult with you or emily post on proper etiquette. I being a "more uptight member" wouldnt surely wouldn't want to say something that could possibly offend you.
How is this: Oh 944 Hooligan, I noticed that you have been visiting here lately. Welcome. I think it would look real neato spedito if you had that little red member under your name. You see, the owner of this board probably has some schlitz on order, and the modest $18 would help to go towards the modest tip he pays the delivery boy.

Rules are rules.
Obviously you have never read any threads or posts from JohnD as to what it takes for him to keep this site running. Do a search, I'll let his words speak for him.
The above lecture on posting in a nice manner came from the person who also wrote this in the same thread:
I don't think it is childish to ask someone to follow the charter rules. I am sorry if you were offended by my post.

yep, i wrote that. i stand by it. your response to this user as well as tom's could have been better. enough said. awful quick to make a new user and possible future contributor feel as though they committed cardinal sin by posting something for sale.
as for tom, well he's just a class act all the way.
keep up the good work guys, you make me want to jump into another 944 and join the list as soon as i can!
