My intention wasn't to say, "get IGG out of the Katemarket" -- AB may be a
perfectly wonderful fellow for all I know.  However, I find the blatantly
commercial, and partly non-Kate-related, price listings to be obnoxious.
I read this newsgroup/mailing list for info on Kate and related artists
(and, to avoid further flames, I think we would all agree that Pearl Jam
is not Kate-related, right?), not sales pitches.  So it's nothing personal,
just MHO that the content of IGG's posting(s) are not appropriate for gaffa.
I see no reason why they can't just post a pointer to where to get a price
list, unless they want to cram this stuff down our throats in the interest
of selling a few more discs.  A fellow fan selling a couple of items from
their personal collection is one thing, but postings deceptively titled 
"KATE Alert!" that turn out to be sales hype is another...
