Hear, hear.  The flamers are wasting more time, energy
and bandwidth than the for-sale posters!  I think it is
worthwhile to have forsales in this group, though a good brief
description in the subject line is really a must.  I vote for
such a standard.  This should apply to all posting, not just forsales!

Example:  FORSALE Mac+ and 800K ext floppy.
