Perhaps our illustrious listowner could post the list of aims and
parameters of the list, I know I got something along that order
when I subscribed, but to find it at this point would take
Gunga Din.

Other lists _do_ allow notification of sales, but usually w/o
specific $$$. and **certainly** more specific description.

Perhaps a format which encouraged private inquiries for details?

Certainly nothing can be done to prevent ads appearing, short of
a fully moderated list. -No, I DON'T want that!- The double edged
 sword of the "anarchy" of the net is at work.
