I think that it is perfectly fine to post these items in the newsgroups that he posted them to. Maybe you are interested in everything that is for sale, but I am only interested in Macintosh things that are for sale. phil

I dunno, it seems to me that more precious net "bandwidth" is consumed by people bitching about things being posted for sale than by those seemingly intolerable postings themselves.

At the risk of getting flamed myself, I need to ask the following
question: Why does it bother people so when folks post "for sale" ads
for Mac stuff (or other "inappropriate" messages) to the Mac
newsgroup? I've been reading the newsgroups for some time now, and
I've never been able to figure out why people get quite so emotional
about where/how things are posted. What's it hurt? What am I
missing?
