For sale posts that start out by saying "Feeler..." but do not list an asking price. Just post what you want for the darned thing and whether you ship internationally or not. Oh, and in the same area, folks who poop on sales threads by posting "****.com has the same thing for $xxx". If you don't like what you see, just move along. Oh, and threads that list an item for sale, but contain mainly links to their listings on online auction sites. What the heck?

I hate for sale posts that try to rip off unsuspecting people that don't know the value of a thing.
I consider it my civic duty to let my friends know that they can get that thing brand new, with a warranty, for about the same or less money.
And yes, I have some friends here. Well, at least a couple. Maybe.

There are veins popping out of my neck right now--my blood pressure is off the charts--I am so aggravated.
I live in a major metropolitan area with 5 million people. We have 10 digit phone dialing, and it sucks!
I'm trying to send a 5 page fax to a list of 20 numbers. I live on the edge of an area code. 1/4 mile north of me, the area code changes. Half the phone numbers in my area code are local, the other half are long distance. Half the phone numbers in the area code to the north of me are local, half are long distance. Long distance numbers require you to dial a '1' first. Local numbers don't work if you dial the '1' first.
If I know the approximate location of the business I'm calling, I can guess whether or not to use the '1' first. I have a $300 fax machine which can broadcast faxes to multiple recipients after scanning them once, however, I don't know whether or not to put a '1' in front of the area code for each of these 20 numbers. So I'm going through them one at a time, sending the fax manually and guessing whether or not to use a '1', and I have to scan the same document 20 freakin times.
So far I'm 1 for 5 and about to take a bat to this thing like that poor copier on Office Space...
Does anyone else live in a city where half the area code is local and the other half is long distance, and there's no way to tell without dialing the number incorrectly?
