Ok I see my opinion is not going to be the popular one.
If it was strictly a sales board than there would be no other heading except for "for sale" but there is congratulations, announcement, lease, stud and even an "other" (may be more can not remember).
How is a purse or a dog more relevant than a miniature horse issue? Quite frankly there are many, many people that have had it with the forum and the others that simply choose not to visit. The sales board gave them another opportunity to reach those, or in reality more, people than the forum itself.
Guess if my life has gotten so busy I can not scroll past an announcement that does not interest me I likely shouldn't be on the computer anyways.
The AMHR rule generated 73 views, now did all result in emails, I doubt it but apparently it made some people stop and think. Of course the sheer number of times this particular "ad" came up was excessive (5 times I think). I found it rather irritating as well but no more so than the same horse ad that keeps getting re-run and re-run. I haven't gotten to that point in life when I have to begrudge people the second it takes to scroll past their ad.
In closing I see no rule against it.Â
