Lines: 15 I don't want to see advertising either, refering to Andy's article. I do however want the information of knowing where to buy something very cheap. We see automobiles prices listed, operating systems prices listed, and I se no reason not to say where I can by floppies for my home system listed. I think the mistake was putting it in net.general. The second mistake was posting to two newsgroups separately. I did send mail to the originator of the article at the time I saw the article. One-time-only announcements of products or services in net.wanted should be allowed. I thought that that was what was the general agreement the last time this stuff hit the fan.
