Yes, I agree. the long commercial posting, I feel, don't belong here. They
take up a lot of space and read like *hard sell* adds. The occasional
personal item or horse for sale I don't mind as they are usually short, and
not overly numerous. I have even purchase some used tack from a short add,
but these commercial adds are aggravating. I can't delete them with out
scrolling through them as I was getting digest. I feel this unnecessarily
increases list volume. If they want to intro a new product, a brief message
so people interested can contact them for more info is, IMHO, more practical.
