It occurs to me that, given the very broad natures of both comp.sys.mac
and misc.forsale, that having a specific group just for macintosh for
sale postings would be an EXCELLENT idea.  I really don't care to read
about for-sale postings for Atari, Commodore, etc., which I don't own.
Most of the time I don't care to read for-sale postings for Macintosh,
either; they clutter up comp.sys.mac.  Why not put them in a nice area
where I can find them if I want them without having to sift through
either of the more general groups?  Seems uncommonly common-sense to
me.

If anyone is counting, you may consider this a YES vote for creating
misc.forsale.mac
