TO THOSE OF YOU WHO I OFFENDED OR IRRITATED BY REPOSTING MY AUCTION NOTICE DAILY, MY APOLOGIES. PERHAP'S I GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY WITH THE REPETITIOUS POSTINGS AND I CAN SEE HOW IT CAN BECOME AN IRRITANT TO THOSE WHO HAVE NO INTEREST IN WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER. I WONDER THOUGH, WHAT WOULD THE RESPONSE BE IF I OFFERED SOMETHING THAT YOU REALLY COVETED AND HAD TO HAVE?

I GUESS I COME FROM THE SCHOOL THAT REPETITION IN ADVERTISING PAYS OFF AS IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO REACH A BROADER CLIENTELE. AFTERALL, COCA COLA AND NIKE MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT. I REALIZE THIS FORUM IS NOT INTENDED TO BE COMMERCIAL AND, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I WILL NOT TREAT IT AS SUCH. I TOO WOULD BE PUT OFF, IF WHAT I SAW PREDOMINATELY ON THIS BOARD WERE A BUNCH OF ADVERTISEMENTS, SIMILAR TO THE EMAIL I RECEIVE DAILY.

IN THE FUTURE I WILL POST A NOTICE PERTAINING TO THE AUCTIONS WHEN THEY BEGIN AND WHEN THEY ARE CLOSE TO CLOSING. I FEEL THAT THIS IS JUSTIFIABLE AND PROBABLY MORE EFFECTIVE THAN DAILY LISTINGS.

AS FOR MEANINGFUL INPUT. I AM NOT EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGABLE WHEN IT COMES TO CHIPS. I COME HERE TO LEARN. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS BOARD IN THE PAST, AS TO WETHER ONE THINKS THEY ARE MEANINGFUL IS UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL.

MY APOLOGIES.
