Re: [APML] Astromart-Baseballs & Bibles??
Hi Kent:
I'm baffled---when I go to the Anacortes site
(http://www.buytelescopes.com/) and click on Classifieds, I get a screen
that says AstroBird Classifieds. If I then click on All Categories, I only
see bona fide astro equipment listed. How do you access this other stuff?
(Not that I want to, it's just that I don't think I've ever seen any of
these bibles and baseballs.)
Maybe you happened to catch Herb in a tired & testy phase and maybe that
got your own dander up a bit ??? It's clearly possible to avoid the
non-astro stuff very easily (since I'm doing it, although I'm not sure how).
Anyway, I think Herb is providing a real service with AstroMart and should
be applauded for it. If he has another classified BBS that you somehow got
linked to that's not his fault. It's not your fault either, but it seems
like clearing up the problem should just involve finding the right links.
