This is not to say that new folks shouldn't tell us about the shops & sites they like -- they should just be polite and introduce themselves first.

I think Humuhumu understands what I'm talking about. I agree that its ok to post links to things that we like however, I think there's a polite way to do it. It just doesn't seem polite for someone to open a profile and the first thing they do is solicit us before they even say Hello.

I admit I made a wrong assumption about the post above, but it did have all the characteristics of someone opening a profile specifically to advertise to us.

I know its our choice to decide for ourselves if the site/auctions are worthwhile, but that wasn't the point of my response. The quality/content of the site is irrelevant. I reacted the way I did because of the way the website was presented. To me, its not any different than going out to my car and seeing a flyer on the windshield.
