First I did not start this echo, nor make up the original rules that I
based my current rules on.  Its called CLASSIFIEDS because that is what the
person who started this echo wanted to call it!

For-Sale and CLASSIFIEDS both have different rules on what is and is not
accepted.  Now that being said next time you have a question on anything
you must submit it to me via NetMail or E-Mail as the rules state.  Next
time your off-topic message will be moderated.
