Re: [APML] Astromart-Baseballs & Bibles??

Bert.
He is talking about AstroMart
Here is the link to the CLASSIFIEDS http://www.astromart.com/categories.asp
Here is the link to the NORMAL Classifieds
http://www.astromart.com/classifieds.asp?g=1
Here is the link to AstroNOT http://www.astromart.com/classifieds.asp?g=2
People used to place non astro items on AstroMart Classifieds and I would
delete them - this got those people UPSET. I decided to make a whole NEW
category for astronomers that wanted to place non astro stuff on AstroMart
called AstroNOT so everyone would be happy.
Kent decided he doesn't want those things on AstroMart and wanted me to make
another site for them and said he was going to the "APML/SBIG/LOSMANDY etc
lists" to make his point.
He has made his point  - now I assume the people on this list have had their
fill. I have.
My apologies.
Herb
AstroMart
