Indeed not.

It's not clear.

The Listmom's (lack of) presence here would seem to indicate that the  
list is really moderated by what members consider acceptable & what  
members' bitch about.

I personally don't see the occasional for-sale post here as a  
problem, but from the replies to Miles' original ad, others clearly  
do. Personally I find 5 replies saying "this is spam" to be more  
annoying than a single for-sale advert (as long as the list doesn't  
degenerate to the extent that we see more for sale posts than helpful  
responses to technical questions).

Having said that, Miles' original advertisement was for an APC switch  
(whatever that is) so wouldn't seem to be as directly relevant to the  
list as a secondhand Lisa or Powerbook. In fact I can see that a G5,  
an iSight and iBook/PowerBook car/wall adapters have all been offered  
for sale here in the past without eliciting any complaints.

Stroller.
