Hi guys,

I don't even know if anyone reads this group much any more - shame, it
used to be well used!

Anyway, I have far too much camping kit, so I'm starting to sell off
the no longer used, surplus. A Caranex H1 has already gone but
there's a lot more to go.

eBay Item number: 280716950519

There will be more over the coming weeks.

I know what you mean, but perhaps this might be something to do with the
amount of spammers trying to use it as their personal advertising site,
those eBay spammers were the worst.

Ah, my Greek friend, your conclusion is almost certainly incorrect!

The proliferation of web based, moderated fora(with pretty coloured
pictures - wow!) are to blame! This is not entirely unexpected in
this age of laziness, with everyone wanting everything spoon-fed to
them with no effort required on their part done for them.

That of course, and the growing number of Usenet users who a-

a) Too ignorant,
b) Too idle,
or
c) Incapable,

of reading the charter and posting within the spirit of that group
charter.

Advertising is forbidden, with these exceptions:

Suppliers of goods and services relevant to camping in the UK may
post an invitation to visit their web site or request details. It should
be of four lines or fewer and not posted more than once every 3 months.
The subject line should begin "ADVERT: ".

Sad that the group attracts only the occasional post.
