No one is removing anyone's rights to free speech The point is that everyone has the opporuntity to post an initial message

This gives all the right to read the message and reply.

If you are offering a chip.. I would be very happy to read about it. But if 14 others want that chip, it only concerns you and them.

There is no reason why everyone logging on to the board has to wait for 14 replys to load except for your offer, the rest is personal not public

The message boards give you easy access to the senders email address.

I know where Bob is coming from. There are hundreds of log ons reading these messages but very few written answers.. One answer maybe the private email.
