No!  The only reason the "for sale" volume has been at all tolerable is
that such posters tend to get jumped on, and most readers of the group
understand and honor the prohibition.  What you SHOULD suggest is that
a separate newsgroup be set up specifically for Apple II merchandising.
Then those who want to see such postings could add that group to their
reading, assuming that their site and network permits such traffic (if
not, the separation would help in enforcing the management policies).
