Like possibly using a standardized "Subject:" line cue, so that those of us with no interest can simply kill all forsale messages? Personally, I think that most of the for sale messages on this net are FAR less annoying and distracting than posts like Werner's last mega-flame. ERGO: Let it be proposed that ALL for sale messages include: 1. "FORSALE" (no quotes) in the subject line 2. A standard message at the end of the post describing both the need for the standard subject line, and possibly the way to alter your global kill file. This would perpetuate the trend among new users. Is there anything missing? And please, could we keep the harsh flaming to a minimum? :bags fleabag@athena.mit.edu
