This may create some controversy here and I am not trying to besmirch anyone with my thoughts.

I was away for a week and I've been trying to catch back up in the many threads that were started while I was traveling...

I may be in the minority here but, I was a bit dissappointed to see the "commercial" turn that the site seems to be shifting to...

While an occasional mention of an approximate price is one thing or a recommendation to ask a particular vendor for a price but, I am personally not in favor of this forum becoming "The" price discovery location...I get bombarded with enough advertising and promotional material on a daily basis anyway.

Buying groups can and do have their place...I think that it is great that we can all come together to share advice and helpful hints and I am hopeful that this function can continue...
