Just an opinion, not trying to start another mail thread:
I would like the list owner to consider restricting forsale messages.

With the K4 being available and the availability of some K3 options, I 
now see a flurry of messages from people offloading their kit, or 
looking for something.

A discussion about a K3 that has a defect or a modification will benefit 
future readers for years to come (yes, I do use the archives which I 
think is a valuable part of the reflector).

The flurry of messages "K3 for sale ... K3 has been sold" lost their 
value the moment the message is on the list. The person offloading 
doesn't care when he switches to flex or whatever but damage to the 
archives is forever.

If the reflector degrades to a forsale list then attendance will be 6999 
and probably (much) lower.
