rEALMENTE, Really, the point is that if you want to post a classified, there is a place for it.
You could have done that and then posted: Hey here is a pretty cool deal on a mini-laptop!! Go to:-------..// Whatever.
If you notice, when a poster like Cobraboy talks about one of his bike tours, he makes a reference to his paid classified ad in the Classifieds.
This is a for profit site, afterall, in spite of all of the great free information that is available.
