Whoops!! This is getting a bit tooooo rule-ish for my tastes, Chris/Kai/Etc.!
How's about we let common sense prevail and not get our knickers in a knot
over one post!! I usually read every line of a for-sale message... never
know when I'll stumble upon a bargain...
BUT, I also have a "delete" key so as not to busy up my life on purpose...
If I have time, I read. If I don't, I delete, or skip.

threads are

I'm as guilty as anybody else on this one, and I live through it! We're all
human.... thank goodness... and condemned to occasional oversights.

Generally makes sense to me!!
