I didn't follow this entire clam-bake, but this did catch my eye:
Jerry Moos wrote, in part:
"Further, I think perhaps blocking other members should be made a violation of list rules, unless the blocker can demonstrate to Dale's satisfactio n that the blocked member has acted dishonestly toward the first member..."

sorry Jerry. Doesn't work that way. Any seller can block anyone they want for any reason. Just because a seller on this list solicits the entire list, doesn't mean *all* people on the list will be able to bid. That's just silly. Just because you happen to subscribe to this, or any, list, doesn't automatically qualify you to bid on something. That's an arbitrary connection that has no moral authority whatever.
