Give me a break. Do you want every used car dealer who has ever had a saab to be posting their crap here? Maybe we could allow each of them just 3 spams per month or something? That'd certainly make the group useful for actual discussions, right? I mean, all we'd have to do is read every pissant little car dealer's post, 99.9% of which aren't near us, and wade through them to find something of value. Further, I would submit that one of the reasons the group does *not* have the same problems as some others, is the very type of message you seem to object to. No, Andrew, I don't think rolling over and letting the spammers take over is the right solution. Dave Hinz
