I also do the same when asked about hardware/software that I either don't have time to answer, or feel a "collective" answer from the newsgroup would be better than what I can offer. For questions regarding specific programs (Dialogue, Novaterm, Desterm, etc) I actually prefer if the person has access to the newsgroup that they ask here. Variety is the spice of life, and having several answers that each shed a different light on a subject benefits not only the person who asked, but also those who read the group and may have the same questions or problems. And for those of you wondering, I *do* field QWKRR128 and QWKie questions in Email. :-) Anyway, I digress.....

And I'm still all for it, but would like it to be less specific than "comp.sys.cbm.forsale". May I suggest "comp.sys.cbm.classifieds" instead? This would give those who are searching for specific items a place to post, too. One of the complaints about this idea last time it was discussd involved a concern that there would be a lesser audience for those selling or looking for things. Let's look at this in a new light. Those people who spam think posting in every newsgroup is reaching a wider audience too. Sure, but they are also missing the point of advertising. If you have a "target audience" (such as comp.sys.cbm.classifieds would be), you're reaching those people who are truly interested in reading your posts. I'd rather have 10 people who are interested in buying my Plus/4 read my post than have 1000 people read it that are more interested in using programs or discussing CMD products. JB> don't own...
