Too funny: "asking if it's O.K." to post an ad, while at the same time...posting the ad!
The creativity of folks slipping this stuff in despite obviously well-known rules against it never ceases to amaze me.
Lighten up Francis...
I didn't know, I asked... and I didn't post an ad, I posted a URL to a commercial site. Now that I know, I removed the URL.
and for someone who's touting obvious and well-known rules, you tread all over this one;
Rule 4
"Flaming" of other participants is strictly forbidden. respectful behavior towards other members is a requirement for participation
Besides, I'd argue I didn't violate any of the rules even with my link.
Rule 8
You may include URLs or active links to commercial sites for the purpose of expanding on comments or providing additional information as part of regular forum interactions.
For those who didn't get to see the link, it was to craigslist.
