Correctly. I protest about the forsale groups. I live in Europa and every time I see another FOR SALE newsitem on the NET I am interested but of course these FOR SALE items are always in the USA. USA not is WORLD !! Here in Europa we have newsgroups preceded by eunet. Don't you have these in the states ? Thats where FOR SALE newsitems belong. And of course if there are very much of them they can be split into several groups.

Why not restrict distribution of forsale items to the continent that you reside on? I live in Canada and have bought items that were posted for sale in the US, but I could see that this might be a big problem for European net users. Just a thought. Stefan Vorkoetter smvorkoetter@watmum.waterloo.edu
