I'm all for private FS/WTB ads at any time. 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.
