Why wouldn't I think that? A2 Central has been spamming comp.sys.apple2 with advertising for some time. This time it's clearly a classic bait-and-switch- you offer a "free bulletin board" in hopes of finding some suckers willing to pay for whatever it is you're peddling over there. Which is fine... in comp.sys.apple2.marketplace.
Show of hands regular posters - who other than carbide thinks A2C has been spamming CSA2? Be honest, because I can only recall making one or two announcements, and posting KFest reports back in July.
I'm not sure how serious I can take you Paul. Clearly you don't know anything about A2Central. Maybe you're confusing it with Syndicomm - which is (was) a subscription system. A lot of people are under that mistaken impression. A2Central has always been free and now we're expanding.
I'm the new owner/operator of A2Central. As such, I'm not planning on selling anything because, frankly, that would mean keeping track of subscriptions and kicking people when they don't pay, etc. More hassle than I care to deal with. Instead, I'm keeping it casual and with as few rules and hassles as possible. All I'll ask is for people to use their real names and be civil.
Since you've somehow taken a personal dislike for me, I'll understand completely if you don't wish to participate.
