Really, this is already being done by a few people, me for example. I fix
British cars for a living. However, I have not once posted a name or location
for my business. I read this list at night (uucp feed is a hobby to my home
box) because I *like* the cars, and want to see them well cared for. I do not
see any conflict of interest in this.

Ah, here we get into the dreaded "advertising", normally a no-no. It
doesn't bother me either way. But if you need to limit it some, do like the
major pay services. Anouncements are fine, advertising is not. Typically,
it boils down to ads have proces, announcements do not.

Some days, it would be better if I didn't have easy access to these
people. :> :>
