I don't see why "for sale" or "wtb" ads from members of the LUG should be treated differently than any other topic. You may not choose to read them just as I choose not to read other threads. I don't see why anyone's personal preference is a cause to regulate the ability to post. Post what you want, when you want. Read what you want. Everyone is not going to be interested in every posting, nor would this be a very interesting place if they were. As has been well pointed out here by others, it seems as if lately there have been many more posts about single malt scotch and Ted's underwear than there have been "for sale" posts. Which days should we limit these to?
