Actually, since eBay has been around, it has kind of been an unwritten
courtesy to put "for auction" or FA in the subject line instead of "For
Sale" or FS. It may not seem like a big deal to most, but there are people
who have very limited online time, or have charges by the hour for internet
service. There are areas like that here where broadband is not available,
and this is the only service that is available to these people. Besides, how
hard is it to type the word auction, instead of the word sale? Many people
will not buy things off eBay.

On the other hand, I guess it was an on topic post for a Jeep related item.
Just my $.03 (because of inflation). ;-)

....while this is a very cohesive argument, and I agree 100% with it, I
must question the assumption (by Mike) that everyone would be
knowledgeable of this unwritten rule. I have been playing actively
with computers since Atari and commodores were top of the heap. I
still remember working for 5 or 6 hours writing a basic program just
to play it once or twice then have it be my bedtime and flick the
switch deleting it forever.I remember stacker chips and peltier
devices pushing the mighty 486 past the output of the new P 90
processor. I know most of the nuances of usenet. Many do not. IMHO
when someone offers up a post such as this they should be advised of
the proper proocol in a respecful mannner. I am sure Mike and/or Bill
were not born with a silicon chip between their teeth. This object is
for sale....to the highest bidder. A simple post letting the person
know that they should use a differing form of expression would be the
logical thing to do. Attacking them as a liar is uncalled for. In
todays society it seems that such a slur against a mans charactor is
easilly given and easilly accepted. I believe this is a very improper
attitude. Of course the annonimity of usenet breeds beer muscles. I,
however, believe by my old fqashioned values that the most important
thing a man has is his integrity. I am humble enough to admit an
error, if one presents it to me that I have erred....but youi damn
well better be ready to stand against me if you accuse me of
lying...when all I have had is a simple gramatical error. You, Mike,
are tired of liars....well I am tired of pompous ****** hiding behind
keyboards lashing out from the safety of their comfy dens and defaming
men they think they will never meet. You may disagree with my opinion,
that is your right. But if I ever err like this original poster
did...please come to 7404 Pentecost Rd Cedar Grove NC 27231...and call
me a liar to my face...no really please do.
