Maybe he is just an enthusiast sharing info.
But it sure LOOKED like spam.
And I do not recall seeing anyone express an interest in old keyboards in
a very long while.
Advertising hardware is NOT the usual sort of post on c.o.l.h.
And since it is for sale, what the OP has advertised, that technically
makes it spam, doesn't it?
It's not as if it came up in the course of a thread.....
Nor is it uncommon for (often seemingly) seperate businesses to advertise
together.
But the real clincher is the fact that if it WAS spam, it wouldn't
look any different than it does.
I still want to see whether he hangs around.
...............
Spammers are getting much more selective these days, and it makes sense
to limit this particular ad to this group.
