This would be my personal preference - no market postings outside the .market
hierarchy that aren't fairly clearly for non-market purpose.  BUT, I'm aware
that other people don't feel that way.

Here's some of my reasoning, in no particular order:

1:If there is no rule, but only a custom, it can be ignored without worry.
2:People who ignore the custom actually get better exposure for their sale
than people who do respect the Lugnetiquette.  I don't think the people
playing nice should be at this disadvantage.
3:Insert "Slippery Slope" reasoning here.
4:I'm a compartmentalized dork.  If I'm reading castle, I don't want to see
market posts.  If I'm reading .market, I don't want to see castle posts.
5:Quoting from above: "since everytime... market posts."
6:I'm lazy, and want things to be as easy as possible for me. :)
