Just tried to sign up on Amibay to give away a couple of A1200s, assorted hardware and software.
They questioned my location, so I replied and changed it, (British living in Middle east) and the very next day, I got this from a Moderator called Sardine:
In reverse order of course so read from the bottom.
Oh, well this is very interesting, a great way to welcome a new sign up.
I did reply and I told you that I would change my location.
Please bear in mind that like most people in this cruel world, I have a job and family etc. etc. and do not always have time to check messages online as quickly as I would like.
Now, while I am the first to confess that I am relatively new to the Amiga scene, I only bought my first A500+ in 1991, I should not expect to be welcomed with open arms. (You can check my Amiga.org membership, username dbrads sign-up date: June 23, 2006, 03:39:12 AM)
However, this is clearly a platform for people to get in touch and help the Amiga to survive (I have two A1200s to give away plus a multitude of hardware, software and peripherals) so I am very surprised, or rather shocked, at the quick and officious message from you.
Therefore, I will post this message and yours on Amiga.org and throw the A1200s and software etc. in the nearest skip (dumpster, if you are American instead of English).
