Once again, a verbatim quote from the Charter:

Topics inappropriate for in dfw.forsale

The following types of net abuse are severe wastes of
bandwidth. As many smaller sites are connected via slow dial-up
links, and may by paying per-minute charges, this charter
allows for the on-sight cancellation of any of the following
abuses:

9. Commercial ads, posts, or advertisements, including URL
links to such.

Those the IMPOSED rules for using this NG. This set of rules existed
PRIOR to anyone here "joining" this group. IF you don't agree, the
choice is clear: Don't use this group. This is an agreement, that
usually works well, and provides the only leverage against spammers.

If this group required everyone to sign a "Terms of Use" agreement PRIOR
to ever posting, we wouldn't have these issues. The Charter is posted,
and the terms of use are clearly stated. That you POST to this group at
all means you agree to abide by the terms of the charter.

The guys who PAY to maintain the DFW.? USENET configuration, and allow
us to tag along, would kill the entire hierarchy rather than allow
commercial posting. There is a requirement in their funding that
absolutely prohibits commercial use, at a very base / root level.
I dont know of anything that REGULATES sigs & such. Looks like just
another attempt on your part to FORCE your opinions & morals down
others. sorry....

OK I will agree with you on your RULE below. It talks about POSTING
MESSAGES & such. It says NOTHING about Sig Files, Lines etc. If you
want to split hairs, I could claim you are RACIST cause you dont like
my sig line. The same as if I complained about yours. SIG Lines are
like signatures & such. It is my UNIQUIE way of identifing myself &
things I want known about me. I am sure if we asked a SPECIFIC
QUESTION around here about all of this we would get 10 different
answers from 4 different people. (This is to show how there are SO
MANY DIFFERENT OPINIONS & SUCH) The charter pertains to what your
message is that you POST, it never mentions sig lines or such.

So to keep this legal FS - Quart of Ice Cream $5.95 Will share for 1/2
Price.

Your SIG isn't part of your post? Interesting. Your sig does not
superceed your agreement, by posting, to not reference a commercial
endeavor / web site.

I shared your disdain for the charter as far back as 1999. Check google
for my posts, as they might enlighten you about how even a seemingly
rational argument bears zero weight against the charter.

You WILL (most likely) be assimilated.

WTB: Jewelry (gold, platinum, silver, diamonds), damaged or scrap
preferred, missing stones OK. Any quantity - paying cash.
