Re: Question about Hungarian Sellers on TAS Message #18 Posted by Donald Williams on 6 Nov 2011, 5:26 p.m., in response to message #17 by Maximilian Hohmann
"So where would be a better place for discussions about this main source of historic calculators if not in the discussion forum of a calculator museum?"
I think it is discouraged because this forum is so "ripe" for commercial abuse. In the past eBay sellers have focused on this "primo" site to show case their auctions, and then later, began a "flame war" campaign to discredit one another. It became so contentious and ridiculous that Dave was forced to step in and personally censor posts and eventually instigate some changes to the forum.
Hence the long running taboo over mentioning eBay and the use of the pseudonym "TAS".
I think the abuse still exists at a much lower level,and those individuals will be more than willing to ramp it back up given the opportunity.
