RE: [Chrysler300] Using the listserver to actively sell parts

["Nancy Kramer nekramer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This Listserve Is NOT a Forum.
Forums are different software with different capabilities than this
listserve.
I would say even low end forum software would have way more capabilities
to organize information 
compared to this listserve.

Nancy Kramer
