Who should "cool it out", they guys who want more selling or the guys
who want less?
It's not as if a slew of people jumped on top of the idea, most postings
have been in favor of other days. Are you hypersensitive to the few
people who sounded like authorities who dressed it down? I believe
ground rules were mentioned. 
Using language like "Greed" is provocative but realistically the
wheelers and dealers of the world need the platform to wheel and deal.
Me, I marry my stuff selling it only reluctantly when it has not lived
up to its promise which is almost never. I don't also like either buying
or selling from people I like. I tend to feel bad if five years later
the camera jams and I feel like I've betrayed a friend or visa versa.
As I said before, I don't mind deleting through lists of junk or any
other spam on a Friday. If it were more days it would be more of a pain.
On Fridays the tone of the list is changed towards commercialism,
wheeling and dealing. Lets give that a rest. Lets shut that up. Lets
blow the proportion of that down. You guys sound like a kid with his
hand caught in the cookie jar who doesn't want want mom to get too
excited talking about cookies or jars.
We're being told to cool it but its you guys who right off got excited.
This is the only less than cool posting against the expansion that I
have read.
"No big deal", sounds good to me.
