Hi Gary,
I think the FS posts are few because people on the list seem to be
acquiring more than selling. Nevertheless, the people do announce their
stuff and then (mostly) conclude the transactions privately. I don't think
there is a charter, but that seems to be the culture. Some dealers do get
flamed here, but no individuals have in the period I've been on the list.
Speaking for myself, I appreciate FS offers to the list before resorting to
NGs, etc.
... So what you got?
