Then either:
- dont reply back to them
- reply back them with whichever choise words you can think of
- specify in your original post what can & will not run on it

Personally, I think we are making this harder than it actually is. Just
post to the list as [OT - for trade/sale/free]; giving fellow OLUGers
first dibbs. Then post your targeted descriptive posting to
freecycle/craigslist what was not already taken.
