[Roadsters] Welcome to the "Datsun-roadsters" mailing list

[Gregory S. Morrison]

We've been pretty lucky on this List in not having ranters and profanity
users. All of that is completely unnecessary. This is supposed to be a fun
and informative site, not a site for open hostility. I've been a part of
this internet community for a long time and am very disappointed in this
current thread. 

While I do not speak for the List or anyone on it other than myself, I hold
these truths to be self-evident:

Insulting and offending prospective purchasers isn't a good way to drum up
more sales.

We usually sign our posts with at least our name, maybe our city, maybe our
car(s). It makes it a bit more personal that way and people are less likely
to say something that they might later regret.

Profanity has no place on this site. I can understand an exception in the
name of humor but when used in a hostile or threatening manner it is
completely inappropriate.

I've known Craig for years and he is a good guy. Eric has also established
himself on this List. Their credibility is much stronger than any
antagonistic profanity user. That's a fact.

Just my two cents.

Happy Roadstering,
Greg
