I echo these sentiments exactly. To set up another list will fragment the
Olympus OM community. The OM community feel you get from this list is pretty
special. The arguments over one ad should not be allowed to damage this. If
someone does not like a particular ad they do not have to buy the goods and
if it really offends them they should themselves leave the list rather than
destroy it. Let's see plenty of ads on the OM list (clearly marked) from any
who wish to sell OM gear. I know I'd much rather buy from a list member than
from an anonymous seller on ebay.
