Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

I enjoy receiving the messages about sales etc (how else would I know -- I 
DON'T check endurance.net weekely even, just daily ridecamp)

Horses, saddle, etc for sale -- its nice to get the little note that says 
"check the classifieds if you're interested in".  Again I may well be 
interested, but don't check them on my own - If you want to sell to those 
like me, you'll have to get our attention.  (And Steph's hardwork deserves 
more than that measley little $5 ad fee!)

My attitude is "I have a delete button" -- if its something I'm not 
interested in -- I'll use it (jsut like when topics are something I'm not 
interested in!) -- elsewise let the sale flyers roll!
