David,
No problem here with your message on the subject. People too often keep
up being redundant beyond reason. I think you were polite and offered
constructive comment.
That said it is situations exactly like this that prompted me to long
ago set up an email filter. Now, as long as the subject contains "for
sale" or "FS" all this annoyance goes to a separate folder I can easily
ignore if I am not in the shopping mood.
Therefore my gripe is only with the inconsiderate list members who don't
properly subject their postings. And of course this poster is in that
category...
