I just called up 213-555-1212.
No listing for "Choice Trading Company".
Is this sale for real?

Postmaster:

I must strenuously object to the misuse of the PDP8-Lovers mailing list, 
which I run, for the purposes of advertising hardware that has nothing to do 
with old computers.

This is not the first incident of this individual posting his forsale message 
in inappropriate venues, and I am sure you have heard complaints about it 
before.

Please take whatever action you deem appropriate to ensure that this person's 
actions are not repeated.

Thanks,

					---Rob (for PDP8-Lovers-Request
