Usenet and email existed twenty years before the WWW. You wouldn't
tolerate pornographic urls even if a teapot was a sex toy. I put
commercial urls in the same category. You can surf the web and find
plenty of urls that talk about tea and aren't selling anything.
Frankly I never came across a commercial url that had anything to say
on the subject except how much it costs and they don't take American
Express. The Charter made a stab at commercial posts and stop the
ridiculous parsing that the spirit of the wording didn't include
commercial urls. The real problem in this ng isn't the sellers but
the buyers sucking like babies on their favorite website's tit. It's
like an MTVxer saying their favorite cereal is Cocoa Puffs. Somewhere
in their precognitive childhood they bought a commercial hook, line
and sinker. So if your favorite website has a discussion forum join
their adoration club. If it doesn't take your business to one that
does and stop hounding us.
