Hmm...  I hadn't thought of that.  There's uk.adverts.computer which
does include offers of and requests for Mac stuff; it's how I got my
Plus and its 20MB HDD.  I'm inclined to say `no' to adverts:

---------
Commercial advertising is unwelcome, although a company reference in a
signature not exceeding four lines is acceptable.

Individual offers of and direct requests to buy Mac equipment and
software are unwelcome in uk.comp.sys.mac and should be placed in a
newsgroup set up for this purpose, such as uk.adverts.computer.
---------

What do you think?  Should this be a bit more relaxed, or what?

Probably; I was under the impression that `crap' was pretty biological
myself.
