Maybe I'm suspicious by nature, or maybe I learned it from experience.... I have the impression some people are already getting organized to bump each others threads by pretending to ask questions.
Cougar - Never a problem with you and have always respected/enjoyed your posts. I assure you that, if people are organizing to do just that, I haven't heard about nor would I condone it. I think any rule can be abused but healthy and active moderation of those posts should put an end to abuse. I still think "PM/Email sent" is a good and fruitful way to give some feedback to the seller... "Yo! Here I am!! I've got an offline question or offer but don't want to post it in the thread. I need your attention NOW before someone else says I'LL TAKE IT in the thread."
It should be relatively clear to see who the BS'ers are and I fully condone busting their chops.
I really think (I could be naive here) that most of the chatter, Busse chatter at least, was not intended to bump a thread for a buddy but more of a discussion/envy/drool over the blade. It *is* needless, however fun, and can (should) be limited to the actual discussion forums.

If things don't work out after the last amendment of rules, there is another solution: (I don't like it but...) Sale/Trade threads can only be posted in by the original poster. Any responses by a buyer would be conducted via PM or Email. The seller could modify with pics, prices and availability. BTTT once every... 24 hours?
