Dear Mr. Junnarkar,

For the past couple of weeks I was trying to find a summer sublet, and
so I was reading um.housing and others.  I swear, I saw your post
about 20 times!  I think everyone's concern is not only the content
of your message but also the number of times you keep reposting it!
I understand that you need a roommate (yes, your lease says that you
can't have one without notifying management, but lots of people do that).  
I also understand that posts expire (every 2-3 months, I think) and thus
have to be renewed.  What I don't understand is why on Earth do you keep
reposting the same message every couple of days?  We saw it!  If noone
replies, then I guess noone is insterested yet.  But stop littering
the news groups!  And another suggestion: even if you do post to several
newsgroups, try cross-posting, so that if someone reads this message
on um.housing, he/she will not see it again on um.forsale.

My two cents,

Marsha
