Ads on list

I now subscribe to the marketplace for new additions because of the problems
Al expressed.  It is much more efficient to have them come in email than to
do the search.  I have no problem with a quick notification that something
is available from a list member, as long as it isn't a commercial ad, and I
look forward to those notices, too.  As noted, it is often a good heads up
notice for the list prior to wider distribution or offering on some other
forum or ebay.
