I fear that many people do not see my sell notices, because they think that
all that is ever advertised on sell-3d is another used stereo camera.  And
Deering's statement just strengthened that suspicion.  Think of all the
people missing out on my lovely fine art nudes!  Why, I could probably quit
my day job, if I got to advertise on P3D...

Does this mean you did not buy a 3D-CD from Dan Shelley?  You are missing
out on a great item, which was primarily (exclusively?) advertised for sale
on P3D...

...and from George Themelis:

But how do you define broken?  If I fear that I am not reaching the maximum
potential audience for my product with sell-3d, then is it broken or just
running kinda rough?

The workaround has been to mention in an oblique manner on P3D products
and/or sales available on sell-3d - like I just did with this message.

So it should be clear that I find the original notion attractive: let's try
it without a separate list (sell-3d).  Keeping an S3D subject prefix is a
good idea.  Of course, I've not been on P3D or sell-3D that long, so what
do I know?

Respectfully submitted,
