I don't think it is a fair characterization to use the word 'marketing' in reference to a single announcement by one individual of something they want to sell and that it may be of interest to others in the neighborhood. We are not talking about a commercial outfit taking advantage of the listserve to get some free advertising. What is and is not acceptable is just a matter of common sense and I bet most list subscribers would easily differentiate between a legitimate announcement and spam.
I waste some time (but not a lot) deleting lots of messages in this and other listserves when the topic doesn't interest me -- whether it is a 'for-sale' announcement or anything else is immaterial.
