I'm a subscriber to an unmoderated newsgroup via the Internet.  They also had 
the same problem with people wanting to post items for sale.  The solution was 
to start another newsgroup specifically for marketing.  We are still allowed to 
post threads stating we are looking for such-and-such items but cannot list 
them for sale.  

I do not read TechNet for the purpose of finding equipment for sale.  I am a 
fledging PCB designer and am trying to learn what I can from everyone else.  I 
wouldn't know one brand of whatever machine from another.  I'm not so much 
against it to start flaming anyone who posts items for sale provided the 
subject line state "Equipment for sale" or something along that line.  I can 
just delete it without fear of destroying the answer to a problem that I've 
been having for weeks.

Thank you :-)
