Well, not really, but I figured that the people who ignore these
messages through a newsreader won't care, and the people whose blood
starts to boil when they see a "For Sale" subject header will. :-)
 
There's been a lot of "For Sale" bashing lately, and it's wrong.
Just because half of this list reads it through comp.sys.apple2,
and has adequate access to usenet and the "For Sale" groups, it
doesn't address the needs of the other half of us (myself included)
who read it as info-apple.  Remember, this group is supported by
Apple.Com, which does the message forwarding between usenet and
the Internet.
 
I have nothing for sale at the current time, and don't need to
advertise anything to the members of this group.  But, if I did,
I would have no reluctance to posting a message through Info-Apple.
If by chance, some usenet people don't want to read it, then they
can delete it just by the subject header.  But, don't harp on the
rest of us who are using this resource in the best way that we can.
 
Remember: It's the Internet that forms the backbone of "Netland".
Proline and GNH-sites would have far more limited communications
links without ties into the 300,000 internet sites and gateways
to commercial systems like Applelink, MCI-Mail, Compuserve, et. al.
