I have access to top of the bill copiing machines so to reproduce "originals" is no problem. Intrested ?. Lots of things are going round on those internet sites like e bay etc.

Case of who was watching and when. I missed the second copy of The Vincent HRD Story because my internet connection dropped out just as I hit the bid now button !!! Otherwise it would have gone higher !!
I have no feelings about this either way, except that I feel that as a generality the use of "handles" allows people to make remarks they might think twice of under their own names. But if what one wanted was to tip off club members that there was something juicy coming up on EBay - and i see no reason why not - it would avoid accusations of commerciality to put it in the club section.
Perhaps I'm naive, but I can't see the problem of pointing out you're selling something of interest to VOC members, nomatter where it's advertised. It would have been better if bigtwin had said he was selling the books, but I'm willing to believe that was an oversight.
I have to say, I agree with Tom about handles. Perhaps we should all have our real names in our profile, and use whatever handle we want in the Forums (or is that Fora?). It would also save confusion, I nearly called Bikersally Sally a few weeks ago. We can make an exception for Phil, he's always been ET43, I bet his mum calls him ET43 - mine calls me Maureen's husband - I've always been easily forgettable.

I was considering adopting ET50 for my nom de plume. That is what my wife thinks I am!!! ( A large idler)

That is very good!! Without descending into maliciousness, maybe we could start a list of suitable "nom-de-plumes", "handles" or "(k)nicknames" for people we know? I once introduced myself to John Surtees as
a Series C Vincent; as most will know, I am Alyn Vincent and I was born in August 1953.... I have had several major rebuilds but my top end is still within tolerances....
With regards to Howard's and Tom's concerns, I would hope the moderators would view it as part of their mandate to monitor any "abuse". They have access to all the details of all forum members and are able to edit all listings. I think that, on the whole, this seems to work very well compared to other forums (fora?) I visit.
