I agree that a forsale group would help to cut down the size of this
group.  I would probably subscribe - at least when I am in the market
for something since I have found some good disks at reasonable prices
through this list.

However, why not go further and identify the major sub-categories in
this very diffuse newsgroup.  I suggest at least four categories:
hardware, software, forsale, and adult.  I would certainly like to be
rid of the "adult" category which I find somewhat offensive - and a bit
of an insult to adulthood!
