Gary Shea said, "Frankly I don't mind the commercial posts too much, unless they're posted in screamy upper case and full of unverified hype." I actually like seeing a few offering solicitations, whether they come from commercial businesses or individuals. But Gary's list is only part of what irritates me. All capitals generally indicates a super novice or slimeball. Describing claims while omitting good description = irritation. Purposefully omitting an initial offering price = irritation. Mindlessly omitting approximate vehicle location = irritation. Omitting necessary distinguishing characteristic = irritation. Obviously "sucker hunting" abusive prices = irritation. |
