I am of the opinion (my opinion, I don't make the rules) that any post outside the BST should first and foremost contribute something in the way of general information, hobby-related knowledge and/or discussion. If the poster then offers the item for sale at the end, okay, but I don't read the main boards for sales solicitations. I appreciate that there is a separate BST section for that.
If it ever got to the point where even half of the posts were of the ware-hawking sort, my interest in Net54 would be greatly diminished, and I would probably look elsewhere for my hobby reading.
