See your local daily or weekly bulletin for examples. There is an unofficial section, which lists many items for sale by individuals. I suggest that an official position be solidified allowing this in the same limited degree allowed in the official bulletins. Besides being good for the community, it will forestall some officious bureaucrat from trying to cut off the internet from the usenet, because it violates his opinion (rather than violating a regulation).(Most of my problems with this type occur because the jerk is trying to enforce his or her opinion and really doesn't know the regulation that is supposedly being enforced.) If we all know the ground rules, and provision is made for errors (as distinct from violations) we shouldn't have any problems. hugh
