If you can't find a used unit I have new ones in stock and for sale here

Paul Remde's post is exactly the sort of blatant solicitation that has
made me decide to always order from his competitors, who don't exhibit
the same egregious commercialization of RAS. If all were like Paul,
then any such thread would have the first post followed by a slew of
responses from everyone who sells such an item, hawking their wares.

I once read an newspaper interview with a spammer, who used the argument
that she was doing the world a favor by providing information to those
out there who _did_ want to buy her product. There will always be people
who will ignore standards established for the general good if it will
benefit them personally. I would never buy from a spammer either.

This is the first time I have posted a response to his commercial posts
and will be the last time - but my displeasure will continue to be
expressed through the discretion of my pocketbook.
