I have not seen too much of this - but I suppose I have not really been looking
for it. I suppose if it is difficult to know if people are upset by the post
itself, or the perceived rule breaking - or perhaps both. Personally, I have no
gripe against interesting sales (large lots / rare items), but common/dull
items are just noise IMHO. In any event, there is no real way of really knowing
what people, as a whole, feel on this - or if what they do feel is compatible
with Todd's long term aims for this webspace.

I expect the web interface to become more and more dominant. So, unless Todd
spends some time on it, signatures will become laborious cut and paste affairs.
Personally, I like signatures (market or otherwise) - they are often the most
interesting part of the post :-)
