Is there maybe an easy way for us to resolve this? Like 
possibly using a standardized "Subject:" line cue, so that
those of us with no interest can simply kill all forsale 
messages? 

Personally, I think that most of the for sale messages
on this net are FAR less annoying and distracting than
posts like Werner's last mega-flame. 

ERGO: Let it be proposed that ALL for sale messages
include:
	
	1. "FORSALE" (no quotes) in the subject line

	2. A standard message at the end of the post 
	   describing both the need for the standard
	   subject line, and possibly the way to alter 
	   your global kill file. This would perpetuate
	   the trend among new users.

Is there anything missing? And please, could we keep the
harsh flaming to a minimum?
