Rick :
I personally have no objection to a modest number of 'For Sale' notices
on the list(s), as long as the subject clearly indicates 'FS' and
year/make/model, and the body clearly indicates where the car is.
However, undoubtedly some will object. There is a Team.Net list devoted
to such messages, the 'auto-jumble' list, perhaps that would be a better
venue.
We would also be happy to post your notices in the SCTOA club
newsletter. Contact me off-list for more info.
