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 ! ! !
