Actually, I wasn't just talking about his .sig.

Yup. It's a neat model that A) Isn't wholly made of Lego pieces, let alone
made only of two Armada Flagships (which makes me doubt how honestly he's
representing his intentions, when he implies it's made from two Armada
Flagships only), and B) that he posted an ad for the day before (so the timing,
to me, is suspect... why didn't he post both at the same time, if he's just
proud of the model? If he built it and was so proud of it he wanted to sell
it, why did the ad come first and the Brickshelf site second?).

That was the general idea.

Yeah, and I was pretty sure sale flogs were declared out-of-bounds in
discussion groups.
> People put things in their sigs all the time
Yeah, but again, I'm not just talking about his .sig. His .sig I couldn't care
less about; the extra message traffic folgging a sale in a discussion group is
what I'm concerned about.

It was a rhetorical comment. Sue me.

Personal attacks already? Wow. Zero to sixty in one post. Congratulations,
you just ensured I won't continue to debate this after this post.

Aww, you're sweet, but I'm not a trainhead, so I doubt there's anything there I
would really be interested in buying. Thanks for the thought, though.
