What does bother me are posters who do the opposite on r.t.l.


Using a standard newsreader client for RTL enables filters and killfiles to be
used at ones discretion.  When traffic on RTL was high (Pre-lugnet) I had many,
many filters turned on to take out all stuff like FA, FS, FT, Auction, Sale,
and other stuff I am not interested in.

So I understand why flog posts on RTL do not use such keywords.  It is to
defeat killfiles--and it works.

My filters are now turned off (still available, though) but back in the
high-traffic days of RTL my filters would easily kill 75-100 posts per day
which is a great time saver for me.  When auction and other keywords are not
used, the message gets through to me and I have to manually delete it or makr
as read, etc.  If I were to flog auctions on RTL I would not use the common
market keywords either, just the Lego set name and number, etc in order to
outsmart killfiles.
