Gee, someone tries to sell something in a forsale newsgroup. How horrible of them! ;) Having purchased my "new" used car through Classified 2000, I support them wholeheartedly ! They provide a consistent format for viewing information. Imagine if Classified2000 didn't exist. Everyone who is selling a car would put their own postings on the newsgroup. Each person would use a different layout and terminology. You wouldn't be able to filter out the postings AT ALL, and I'd have to read each ad with more diligence (sp?) rather than just scan the ads Classifieds2000 puts out. In this light, Classified2000 is doing you all a favor by standardizing the car ad content. Filter away m'boy ! ! !
