[6pack] [TR] [Fot] Racing Goodies for Sale

I am president of the DCTRA in Phoenix.  We just went thru a diatribe caused by a purest.  I managed to contain it.  The lists are for us Triumph people to exchange ideas and as necessary equipment.  If someone sells some thing to another so be it!  For charity I should think no problemo!   A commercial ongoing sale could cause this to become a commercial sales venue, I personally would have some umbrage on that!    John Horton

the shameless promotion of the ST book I wrote some years ago and which so many people kindly 
ordered. Obviously I should have found other methods. However a further thought occurs. As many 
know, I'm undertaking a marathon drive across the States and Canada next year in a Stag and there's 
a very definite financial interest in that. Simply, its to raise as much money as I can for three 
charities - though I'll be making nothing out of it myself, other than writing another book about 
the whole trip. I've got a financial objective to somehow raise US$300k out of the trip and many on 
the lists have signed up for periodic updates of the event website and the trip itself.
If the prime objective of all the lists is to preclude any 'advertising' in which there is a 
prominent financial motive, I'm wondering whether I should keep my updates off these lists and only 
notify those who have signed up to the "Keep yourself informed" button on the website.
I'd appreciate some fairly adjacent guidance please on how I should proceed from now onwards. I also 
apologise for having misued the lists in the past concerning my book.
