Thank you for you're quick response.
I won't post any more ads to this group. I probably shouldn't contact these
people
directly so I ask that you contact for me with the following response:
Firstly, my sincerest apologies. My ads will not appear on this group again.
Secondly, the ad that was posted had my email address ( I use no aliases)
and my signature which includes my mailing address, my phone number, and my
fax number. I wasn't out there spamming folks and trying to hide. This whole
unfortunate situation could have been taken care of by a simple email, snail
mail, phone call, or fax. I've looked all over the internet today looking
for the FAQs for this group and can't find it anywhere. Please post the FAQs
for this group where thay can be found as well as on the group frequently.
Best regards,
Tim Camp
