Personally, this is how I look at it: If you're looking for somethign
specific (ie you want a DRV11 because x...) then that's OK, even if you
want it for commercial reasons (like the guy that was wanting PS/2 model
30s back in July). What is annoying is people that spam the list with
general requests, like "Does anyone have DEC hardware?" or "I buy old
IBM machines" (as a request for sale not as in "I collect old IBM
machines.")
That's my US$0.02.
