Just like everything else where someone can get their knickers in a twist. It's not fair to him or you so let's just stop letting it work so everybody can be unoffended. Why not just remove the whole fecking FS/FT/WTB section so everyone can be protected from harm? I still can't understand how asking a question about an item for sale destroys the FS section. Because it is unfairly moved over to the front of the line? Really? Because it places valuable information about the expiration date of some old film or the state of cleaning marks on some lens into a non-permanent knowledge base? Questions are a part of a sale. They are a part of a purchase. Why the moderators are required to have their fingers or tongues involved in simple questions about condition or suitability is far beyond me. If you have posted an item for sale and it gets buried because people are more interested in something else that is for sale why is that a problem for everyone? That's how it goes, maybe your Wooden 4x5 film holders without dark slides aren't the cats pajamas.
Selling is not always easy or pleasant. People have questions. Why is this a problem? Just charge a dollar for every ad and leave us to our own unruly devices. If you think having chatter on an ad is a problem place your ad and lock the thread. If this is still a untenable hardship get the feck out.
Bob - sick of hearing how awful normal commerce intruding on these precious classifieds is - OMFG already.
