How about making Friday the "classifieds
section" day? You know, like
the local newspaper. Although classifieds appear in newspspers daily, it
seems that one day has many more than the others.
This would reduce the daily FS/T traffic, but still enable people to
trade stuff. I see ClassicCmp as a great resource, not only for information
not available elsewhere, but also for physical equipment and software which
is obviously no longer made or supported by the manufacturer.
Even if everyone could agree on this it would last for about 1 week and
then go back to status quo. I really don't mind the ads. They are not
excessive, they are reaching a good market where there is a win-win (the
seller gets some money and space back and the buyer gets first crack at
cool stuff), and they are more on topic than the drivel that has been
plaguing us for the last four weeks or so.
