Add my voice to that of Hank, Chip, Herb and Mark. Tim has worked
hard to make Wings & Wheels THE place to sell gliders, and he does it
to try to get more business. Duplicating your ad elsewhere is an
attack on his model. If you want the best exposure to sell your
glider, swallow your pride and make nice with Tim.


Tim still does not list his requirement the ad for your glider be
exclusively with him. The only requirement I see is this one, written in
red and underlined:

"I only ask that you please send notice when your sailplane, trailer,
airplane or part has been sold or your wanted ad is no longer needed."

Given the lack of warning about Tim's requirements for exclusivity (and
perhaps letting his business interests interfere with his civility), I
suggest he immediately and prominently post those requirements, then
contact BobD with something like this: "My bad for not informing you of
the situation. I'll be glad to repost your ad until you sell your
glider. Please let me know at your convenience."

Should Tim make such an offer, I hope BobD will accept it graciously,
and allow the ad to be reposted.
