I would like to suggest a new newsgroup to encourage bartering and trading of goods and services. To be called net.barter (or net.trade?). This would differ from net.wanted in that people would post articles offering goods or services for trade, NOT asking where they can find this-and-such, and nothing involving exchange of money.

This might make the net a target for IRS scrutiny. Just something to think about. {allegra,amd70,cbosgd,dsd,dual, harpo,hpda,ihnp4,megatest,nsc, oliveb,sri-unix,twg,varian,VisiA,wdl1}!fortune!mbr
