Commercial advertising is allowed. The subject line must start "ADVERT ",
and the post should be no more than 6 lines in length. Commercial
establishments may post an invitation to either visit their web site or
request details such advertisements should not be posted more than once
every calendar month.
Individuals may post recommendations of markets, stores, magazines, etc in reply to an existing post, but this recommendation should be strictly on-topic.
