Harold, A suggestion from one of the members I corresponded with. Maybe just a note on the Radio's on-line page is sufficient rather than an all points note on the main web page.

I now understand the reasoning behind the move. Perhaps a short note should be placed on the Radios On-Line page explaining why the service is being cancelled. Thanks and 73 Ron W7VU ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joel Harrison" <w5zn@arrl.org> To: "'W7VU'" <w7vu@mycomspan.com> Cc: "'Jim K9JF Fenstermaker'" <k9jf@arrl.org> Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2008 1:11 PM Subject: Spam:*********, RE: Radios On-Line ?

Hi Ron,

During the past year, we have experienced an increased number of complaints by members and users regarding postings and practices that do not conform to the Radios On-Line website's original intent. Despite our efforts to monitor the site regularly, these problems persist. These have included postings for guns and "personal" ads. Our staff that administers this service have deleted items and notified the "poster", only to find the

ad back two days later, placed in every category.

We are spending a disproportionate amount of staff time dealing with this matter and it is just no longer worth the cost of maintaining the service when other on-line services that were established to handle the specific need for on-line person to person sales exist.

Joel

Why are the Radios On-Line ads being discontinued April 30th? It is a very valuable service.
