Message-ID: <523@turtlevax.UUCP> Date: Fri, 21-Sep-84 03:48:14 EDT Article-I.D.: turtleva.523 Posted: Fri Sep 21 03:48:14 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 26-Sep-84 00:47:43 EDT References: <550@sunybcs.UUCP> Distribution: net Organization: CADLINC, Inc. @ Palo Alto, CA Lines: 14 One problem is that most items for sale would usually only be considered by those who live close to the seller, and so would probably have a localized distribution. However, geographical closeness is not necessarily the same as network closeness, as witnessed by the difficulty in establishing a news link between northern and southern California for the ca.general newsgroup. I realize that this is a problem if "For Sale" notices are put into net.general and net.wanted, or net.forsale, but it would be easier to control distribution with net.forsale. -- Ken Turkowski @ CADLINC, Palo Alto, CA UUCP: {amd,decwrl,dual,flairvax,nsc}!turtlevax!ken ARPA: turtlevax!ken@DECWRL.ARPA
