Hi all:

Pardon my ignorance, but can someone illuminate me as to what "FW" and "FA" mean? I understand FS = For Sale and FT = For Trade and WTB = Wilderness Trail Bikes, I mean Want to Buy. But what about FW and FA and perhaps others that I'm forgetting that I routinely see in subject headers as regards selling/trading/buying/wanting?

FA can mean "for auction" but FW is usually just "Forwarded" so I'm not sure what it might mean in that context..... Greg Parker Dexter, Michigan http://www.bicycleclassics.com (lots of things FS)
