This same guy was doing this on another list until stopped.

Evidently, he thinks these lists are here as a source for free advertising 
for his business interests.  I agree that he should be stopped immediately.

Frank is not alone on the MG mailing list in his views on commercial
postings such as yours.

The mailing list exists as a forum for enthusiasts to provide advice,
support and a community for each other.  It does not exist as a handy
ready-made audience for commercial advertising.  If we permitted one
company to use the board for their advertising purposes, we would have
to permit any MG-related company to do so, with the result that the
mailing list would become dominated by advertising and would lose its
whole purpose.

We do have an active member who is an employee of a major parts
supplier.  His participation is tolerated and welcomed because he has
much good advice to give, and NEVER pushes his company's products,
rarely even mentioning them unless directly asked to.

When you signed up, you should have had the opportunity to check out
this page:

I quote:
"Beyond casual comments within ongoing discussions or occasional mention
external services, if a company wants to do business on the net, they
should not use these lists, but find other means to do so. Many readers
do not want to see commercial advertisements on the mailing lists, and
will react negativly to such "electronic junk mail". "

I am copying the webmaster in on this message.  If you do not choose to
stop sending messages advertising cars for sale, I would ask him to
remove you from the mailing list.
