A couple of months ago I posted here about some power hacksaw blades I
had.
A few people bought some off me from here and I actually gained enough
cash
to go out and get some silca gel vitrified grinding cups made to my
dimensions ( I had to order 50 of them before they would make one)

Since it's goods that are used in metalworking would it be considered
spam
if I posted asking if anyone was interested in buying a couple of items
from
me? I'm not talking about bombarding the group. I'm talking about 2
items
in 2 posts asking if anyone was interested in my leftover goods.......

Seeking your advice and interpretation.....

In general, if the postings are not too frequent, (excessive
would be once every two weeks for the same item each time), and if they
are short, I see no problem.

At this point, it looks to me like RCM is sort of a "no holds barred"
kind
of thing. Could it be? I guess what really matters is the policy
of
the service provider. Maybe someone can step forward and inform all of
us
what is, and isn't, acceptable.

*Which* service provider? Usenet is hosted on hundreds or
thousands of systems around the world. There is no *one* service
provider to say yea or nea.

Thanks, DoN. Still, I have one question that troubles me. Is anyone in
charge of RCM? Why does it exist? When one posts, or reads posts that
come from RCM, is there any one place where it is all on a hard drive
(besides Google)? I trust by now you understand I'm totally confused as
to how the entire thing works. Someone, somewhere, one fine day must have
decided there should be an entity known as RCM------how did it come into
being? Does anyone have the authority to restrict anyone from posting?
Can I assume it's nothing more than an address where everyone meets, but
there isn't any such place? I might liken it to a directory (on many, if
not all servers), under which anyone has access and adds their comments.
Something like that?
