Did you manage to put that on EBay by yourself? Bricklaying is still done the same way today as it was back in the 17 hundreds, or even earlier, so a book that covers this type of thing is still available today, and it's cheaper to buy new. The only things that have any major differences is the types and solutions used in the mortar mixes, but these too can be found for no cost on the WWW. Good luck with your auction though. |

I'm kind of amazed that the simple posting of a book for sale on an NG can create such a furore. I am actually a private person who sells on Ebay as a hobby,or rather to provide a smallish income whilst I bring up the sprogs. My own opinion,is that the odd advert from individual sellers is not particularly offensive on any newsgroup...it's not as though I'm a giant corporation or anything. I post to the textiles NGs and although we have a marketplace ng, people often ignore the fact and post adverts.Do we get overexcited about it? Nope, not usually. My view is that ngs that are mainly populated by men have a higher than usual quota of "trainspotter" types who are easily given to bouts of agitation when their territory is invaded. But...I might be wrong! ;-)) love Sarah |

But...I might be wrong! ;-)) love Sarah You're right that you're wrong. A book sale is the best place to sell and advertise books, I'd have thought. The people using this group, and there are ladies in here too, are usually competent enough to have already bought or sought books and instruction manuals on the things we discuss in this group. The group is normally used by DIYers who need further tips on a project they are, or about to be, undertaking. They never normally come in here to ask who's selling books on medieval brick laying. Well, not in my experience anyways. We don't take free advertising in the group to lightly, mainly, because it would be to easy for any of the actual trades people that are giving advice here to tell people that they can come round and the job for them at a price. That's advertising your wares, isn't it? You didn't even have the common courtesy to place the universal symbol "OT" meaning "Off Topic" at the beginning of your post. This might have at least warned people of the nature of your post. You also didn't post an explanation of your intention to post an advert in an OFF TOPIC for book sales newsgroup. Your first posting could have been in the nature of "I'm in possession of a book about medieval brick laying that I'd like to sell, would anyone mined if I placed details in the group to tell people about it?". You may have got a good few responses from the users about the kinds of things it has tell about. You may even have been asked how much you wanted for it. But, to blatantly come in here to sell your wares to people who are to busy with their own DIY techniques, is, in my opinion, really daft. So, again, you're right that you're wrong. |

Please spare us from posts of this nature. If you're going to post this then you might as well post the substantive message. Otherwise you get this, four people saying 'fine', two saying 'go away' and the follow-up.

That's advertising your wares, isn't it? Please read the group charter. Commercial ads of the sort you describe here are not allowed. Private individuals adverts for relevant items are allowed. IMHO a book on bricklaying skills is relevant but YMMV -- Tony Bryer SDA UK 'Software to build on' http://www.sda.co.uk Free SEDBUK boiler database browser http://www.sda.co.uk/qsedbuk.htm |

can create such a furore. That's because you're spamming scum. You have so little respect for anyone else that you don't even have the decency to post a [ebay] or [fa] or [spam] header in the subject line. I don't care how little your business is - how well do you think Usenet would work if we all did what you do ? You are a selfish little brat who thinks the world revolves around you and your interests alone. Quite the big ****ing man aren't we?? Shut the **** up you loud mouth abusive little cocksucker. There we are,a nice little reply on the same level as your own. What a very sad person you must be. regards CK |

.uk I'm kind of amazed that the simple posting of a book for sale on an NG can create such a furore. I am actually a private person who sells on Ebay as a hobby,or rather to provide a smallish income whilst I bring up the sprogs. It's usually best to ignore arseholes like Big W*nker. They tend to over reach themselves with their right to decide what we want to read or argue about. If he had just spouted his tripe with reference to himself and those who have given him their power of attorney I would not have posted the following: The people using this group, and there are ladies in here too, are usually competent enough to have already bought or sought books and instruction manuals on the things we discuss in this group. And some of them may reserve the right for themselves to decide when they want another one. The group is normally used by DIYers who need further tips on a project they are, or about to be, undertaking. They never normally come in here to ask who's selling books on medieval brick laying. Well, not in my experience anyways. Actually you are a total arse hole. No one treats people like this in real life except total arseholes do they? Who gave you the right to say that this may not be discussed as human to human? Who told you that the subject is not one for this group? As it happens I'd like to hear more about the book as the different styles and the missing modern ideas might be quite interesting. We don't take free advertising in the group to lightly, mainly, because it would be to easy for any of the actual trades people that are giving advice here to tell people that they can come round and the job for them at a price. That's advertising your wares, isn't it? Who is this "we"? I don't object to the threads on Screwfix nor do you IIRC. In what way is this thread so different? You didn't even have the common courtesy to place the universal symbol "OT" meaning "Off Topic" at the beginning of your post. This might have at least warned people of the nature of your post. Courtesy? You are a fine one to use that word. It isn't even off topic, fool. You may have got a good few responses from the users about the kinds of things it has tell about. You may even have been asked how much you wanted for it. Prick! Consider yourself flamed of the weak. Get a life. -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
