   How about a compromise and simply post to the forsale groups?  I like seeing
   the ads too since I've pick up many things via these ads.  If the concern is
   the traffic on the amiga groups the comprimise should be satifactory for all
   involved.  Just make sure you include the word Amiga in your subject line ;-).

   Since this is an unmoderated group no one can tell you what to post or not to
   post but I wouldn't quite call it anarchy ;-).

Unfortunately, posting games (and equipment) for sale specifically for the
amiga reaches the GREATEST number of amiga users by posting it to c.s.a{.g}
and not to the forsale groups.  There's lots of people out there who don't
get the forsale groups and lots more who get it and don't ever really look
there, and items like amiga games for sale just seem more appropriate IMHO
to be in an amiga-specific group rather than a generic forsale group.
