Thanks for responding Paul



 MH> This is my thoughts for basic rules:

 MH> 2    For commercial trading, private traders use Aust_Ads



 PE> I think you meant AUST_TRADING.

You got me there, it didn't look right at the time so I don't know why I 

didn't check and get it right.



 PE> I don't like the idea of disallowing private trading ads.  Personally I

 PE> would like to have just the one trading echo, with commercial posts

 PE> allowed. 

Thats an even better idea provided commercial traders were obliged to

identify themselves as such.



 MH> 3    Bad trader warnings ARE on-topic provided they are not libilous



 PE> You planning on consulting a solicitor on each message to determine

No, just floating the idea to see if it could be made to work. I would think

such messages would have to follow the format of:

... BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE

I ordered a Pentium 200 motherboard from Corrupt and Shonky Ltd. for $500

and they sent me a 286/12 board six months later so think twice before you

deal with them.

... A Sucker



If you, or anybody else can come up with a better idea I'd like to see it.
