Think of it this way Mr Clark ( ll.clark@xxxxxxxxxxx )... 

If B&H and KEH and other groups were active on a list advertising
their equipment constantly it would get very disagreeable to many on that
list. Many wouldn't even raise their concerns about it. People don't like
confrontation on public lists in general. I think your interventional
question in this thread is of dubious merit but I will attempt to answer
your question with general and specific points.

In our day to day existence commercials and advertising may be the norm
but I would find it irritating for an individual or group on a public
mailing list to be *constantly* advertising their equipment for sale. I
mean many list members including myself have web pages that include items
they dont require and are for sale. However in my experience those
individuals don't use it as a shopfront for a business. Moreover they
don't indirectly advertise their equipment with 'replies' to questions by
new (and sometimes old; as in time on list not in the sense they take
Viagra) list members.

Well, as a comparison, I have two EX Black 2n bodies for sale for
$175.
