The purpose of this exchange is to cultivate a local and convenient way for people in the Olney/Brookevlle area to share information and buy & sell goods and services.

Posting tips:
1) Keep your postings brief and to the point.

2) When looking for particular advice, search the messages posted to date or go to the OBX home page and search the files for particular recommendations - this avoids duplicate postings.

3) The default is set so that your reply goes to the original poster. If you want your message to be seen by all members, select the email for the group (not the moderator) from the drop down menu.

4) You can set your own preferences for how you would like people to see your user info and the frequency for how you would like to see postings.

5) If you are offering more than one item for sale or giveaway, please list them ALL in one posting, rather than sending off multiple postings with one item in each.

6) NOTE TO BUSINESSES and ORGANIZATIONS - we do want to hear from you but please adhere to "soft advertising" by posting brief offerings and opportunities NO MORE THAN ONCE PER MONTH - primarily if you have a specific sale or opportunity that is time sensitive. If you have an e-newsletter, please provide the group with a link to your newsletter. Do not add the OBX to your distribution list.

Be sure to include your name and location, so everyone knows who you are. Businesses advertising here must be fully accountable. The ID and accountability standards apply to everyone.

Rules: No prolonged complaining, ranting, or venting. Please remember this is freedom of speech at its best to over 3,500+ members. Choose Civility and Play Nice or you will be asked to leave the sandbox.

Happy Posting!
