A meager one at that, MSGT Terry!  LOL!
 
I didn't like the sound of your "non-for-living" phrase.  Sounded morbid!  :o)
 
But I think your comparison was right on.

Hi Gentle Bill and Gentle Donna,  My interpretation would be like the difference
between me, a non-for-living carving person wanting to sell a roll of gouges I
never use as opposed to Big Dog who makes his living or a substantial portion of
his living from selling tools.  IMHO  Your call, tho, Gentle Bill.
Not so gentle

Gentle Bill-
What is the difference between 'for sale' and 'commercial'?

Gentle Subscribers: 

I have no objection at all to people posting For-Sale/For-Barter items on the
List as long as the postings remain non-commercial.

Commercial postings must ALWAYS be sent to the List owner (that's me!) first, so
I can post them on behalf of the subscriber. This policy protects the List from
commercial spam... yet allows genuine and useful commercial postings to have
access to the List.



So... if you have something to sell/swap/barter ... a tool, a book, a pile of
carving magazines... even wood or supplies, feel free to post them to the List.
But only non-commercial postings, OK?


If this works for our List, we will continue with it. If not, then we will put
an end to it.


Blessings and Peace,

Bill 
List Owner

One way to revitalize this list would be to permit the posting of items for
barter/sale or trade in a non commercial way.  there are many older carvers with
workshops brimming with items that new or younger carvers would get much use of.
There are even many younger tool junkies who have items they no longer need or
use.  I understand the need to keep this list non commercial and agree that
merchandisers should be restricted but how bout a forum that really helps others
with things that they really need.  there is no place on any carving lists where
this is being done. and it certainly would bring the list some activity. 
 
when I joined this list some 5 short years ago, I couldn't get enough of it.  It
was one of the best resources for me, a new carver.  What I do remember is that
if I asked a question, 20 different people answered me.  so to the younger/newer
carvers. please ask questions!!! and to the more experienced, please answer
those questions.   700+members ought to be able to keep things going.
