I have commented before that I think it is unfair to a national net
to post "For Sale" notices which must essentially always be aimed at
a local audience via a BBS in the poster's home area.  I think that
the offer today to sell an older version of MouseTalk because the
holder got the upgrade without turning in the original sales slip is
even more borderline.  What's the difference between that and making 
an illegal copy  and selling it?

I  will probably get nastigrams for this, but some issues ought to
be clear enough to the beholder that the net should never have to 
suffer them.
