That seems a bit heavy-handed. Omitting information that is useful or
helpful or necessary to others is annoying, but not subject to any
negative action, IMO. I don't like posts that only give me half the
story or omit crucial details any more than you.
I think the best course of action would be for you and other readers
to send along friendly emails to the authors of such messages.
Simply suggest that for future announcements, they include such
important bits like where exactly the good deals can be found.
This will allow you to communicate directly while keeping the
conversation out of public view.
As curator of the Marketplace newsgroups, I would be willing to write up
a set of "posting tips" for the .market.shopping group. The most
important tip would be for messages to tell WHERE the Lego can be found.
And before I make it public, I will send it to you, Benjamin
(and others), so we can be sure it says everything we want it to say.
