So it does seem to me that perhaps there is an overreaction because
technically there doesn't seem to be a violation since non-auction
market posts aren't prohibitted, and the bits offered for sale are train
bits, and it clearly was not an auction announcement.
Now this little distinction had escaped my notice, but as they say,
ignorance of the law is no excuse...
Now personally, I would prefer that the market posts stay in the market
groups, with the exception perhaps of my suggestion of a periodic
summary of theme related market posts.
