I don't have a problem with resellers postings on Fridays either.. I only ask that commerical postings avoid "get 'em while they're hot" sales rhetoric . I find such posts to be condescending, since most Luggers know what's rare, or bargain priced, and what's "new and improved". But I don't mind resellers listing a few dozen items if it's clean text that everyone can glance at and discard if not interested. In fact, I'm all for it. I agree with Jim that mid-week posts for sales of personal equipment are OK. I ended up trading in a lens a while back. It was Monday so I didn't post it on the Lug. I knew that if I waited till Friday I'd have talked myself into keeping something I no longer needed. I say we do away with the Friday only rule for private FS/WTB posts and leave it to everyone's discretion. If it gets out of hand I'm sure we can deal with it in a civilized manner. Dave
