-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Hello!  I discovered your site and I enjoy it!

 [ Bonjour, Monsieur Jean; I'm happy you found us!

I have a few questions to ask, but first I want to know if there
are special rules to send a message.

1. To answer someone, is the answer necessarily published in MMD,
or can we directly reply to the author?

 [ You may reply privately to only the author or, if you wish,
 [ you may reply to MMD <rolls@foxtail.com> and everyone will
 [ read your message.  If the author is not a MMD subscriber,
 [ then send your reply to both addresses.

2. When replying to an offer, is it allowed to talk about money on-line?
Can we give telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses?

 [ Certainly, you may give your own telephone number and email address
 [ if you wish.  But please respect the privacy of other folks.  Maybe
 [ they don't want their phone number and email addresses published on
 [ the Internet.

3. A friend of mine is selling a Black Forest clock to restore.  Should
I send his address and phone number to the fellow who is looking for one?
Perhaps I will ask him first.

 [ Yes, that would be the polite way: ask the seller if it's okay to
 [ send his information to someone else.

Here are the questions I would like you to offer on MMD.  But perhaps
should I send separate questions to obtain different visible titles?

 [ Yes.  I will make separate messages for each topic that you write on.

Congratulations for this lively site.

Best regards from France,

Jean Nimal
