Shane, thanks for including bike size in your example.  I cannot believe how many bike listings don't include that.

As general etiquette for the OBRA list, please tag your postings for For Sale, Wanted to Buy, Wanted to Trade, and Off Topic subjects accordingly.  For example:

  FS:  Specialized S-Works Epic MTB, Size XL
  WTB:  10spd cassette, 10-28t, good condition
  WTT:  Crank Bros seatpost for anything else
  OT:  RV!!

Recently there has been a growing rash of "non-tagged" messages.  By tagging them, you help other OBRA members look for interesting items based on for sale, wanted, etc. Subject tags.  In addition - some of us use filters to push messages in to different folders by these tags. 

Please don't start a flame/thread discussion on "splitting the list up".  I'll leave that up to our fine OBRA learless feeders to decide when the list might be split up and have it brought up to the community for vote. 

Thank you - it helps all of us make the OBRA list a LOT better!!

Shane: A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.
