I do read ASCM but can't remember a time I've ever posted a reply
there much less something for sale. I have nothing to sell; I have
never offered anything for sale in any newsgroup. I want to hear/read
about good deals. Some of you are so paranoid about spam it's become
a
sickness. Nonetheless, ASP is a great example of how Off-Topic and
For-
Sale can peacefully co-exist. The current crop of ASCers are too anal
or set-in-their-way to accept that.
