I hear everything you're saying. But what pisses me off, is that a company as big as Dove would stoop so low as to get free advertising...hell, they're big enough to pay their way just like everybody else does. If I were the IPC I would ask for payment. Then, as I once suggested before, be put into a pot where at the IPC Expo (or some big hoopla) be a "tab" funded (The Rock Bottom Brewery in Long Beach comes to mind ;^)) that these "Free-loaders" pay their due...believe me, Dove Bros. can afford it!!! I can't believe they would stoop so low as to spam the TechNet...what a bunch of LOSERS!!!! A paste from their web site is below...claiming how "proud" they are of their traditions....B.S.!!! A bunch of low life car salesmen is all they are!!! I pasted that below not at all to promote them, but to show that they are big enough not to have to stoop to try and get free advertising...if anyone can afford to pay for legitimate advertising, they can... -Steve Gregory- DoveBid is proud of its 60-year tradition of maximizing value for thousands of sellers throughout the world. DoveBid began in 1937 when its founder, Harry Ross, picked up a gavel and sold his first piece of machinery. By the 1980's, our firm pioneered the use of auctions in high technology by selling the assets of Osborne Computer - the first computer auction in history. Six decades after its founding, the firm has maintained its legacy of leadership by conducting many of the world's largest, most successful auctions on behalf of corporations, government agencies and financial institutions. DoveBid has conducted over 3,000 industry specific auctions throughout the world selling over 10,000,000 individual lots. Buyers from Santa Clara to Singapore have responded by purchasing over $5 billion in assets. Our database of buyers grows with each campaign. DoveBid brings liquidity to the marketplace by maximizing seller value through competitive bidding the ultimate indicator of market value. ############################################################## TechNet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ############################################################## To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TECHNET <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TECHNET ############################################################## Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information.
