Conversely "Hay everybody, check out what we have for sale this week!" 
is not so cool.

I've dealt with Jesse before, at least I tried to. I needed a particular board 
that he had (part of a 12920 mux set) that has almost no commercial value. That 
board wasn't generally used under the more "still commercially viable" os's 
like rte. It was generally only used for HP TSB which isn't going to have 
commercial interest. He wanted somewhere around $1500 for it, and would not 
negotiate much really. ISTR that someone made mention that the stuff was 
pitched later, unsold. So sad.

I agree that the general introductory blast post was a bit over the top. But I 
don't think it's been posted here regularly, and vendors that obviously 
contribute here get a little leeway (Cindy). I figure some may not be familiar 
with Cypress/Dougherty systems so one intro email per six months or year 
doesn't bug me.  More often will draw some ire ;) If Dougherty Systems wants to 
participate in this mailing list, there needs to be some 'collector friendly' 
value, it's a two way street. I suggest that Jeff @ Cypress scan maybe a year 
of past postings by Cindy @ Electronics Plus, and emulate.
