I am starting to get sick of all the "for sale" postings to net.general.
(Chuq and Spaf, I'm on your side!)  Maybe there should be a new group
for these "for sale" postings:  net.forsale.
(But why not use net.wanted?  Because, in my opinion, net.wanted is for
items that are DESIRED or WANTED, not for UNDESIRED or UNWANTED items
that are usually being sold (undesired/unwanted by the current owner).)
On most systems, net.forsale will appear before net.general, so that
these articles will be read before net.general is reached (if you haven't
U'ed (or ug'ed if you use vnews)).
Please mail all suggestions/comments/flames/what have you; it's not
often that I get as far as net.general :-).

                         Still waiting for net.dementia,
                                  Jim Poltrone
