I have noticed from time to time that there are replies in threads from commercial sellers and/or sponsors soliciting business from those who clearly will need parts or repairs.

My question to the group is; do we want this kind of interaction within the forum? I want to be clear that I neither oppose or support the issue as far who and what is being offered. I see merit to both sides. However some may feel strongly about this issue so I wanted to put it out there as to if this is appropriate to the board as whole?

There has been problems with spam posts that most of us are aware of, and I am not suggesting this issue be considered in the same light. But should those in the business of repairing and selling parts and accessories decide to change their marketing strategies, we could see a marked increase in the number of posts and replies.

Any other opinions out there?
