Sorry, but I do.

Here in New York, and other places I'm sure, there are people who sell
flowers in restaurants.  They interupt your meal, barge into your
conversation, and ask if you want to buy a stupid flower.  If I wanted to
buy a flower, I would be at a florist, not a restaurant!  It's irritating
for my nice evening and pleasant conversation to be interupted just so some
troll can sell some junk I didn't ask for.

Many people have all the stereo equipment they need.  If not, they
subscribe to Sell-3D.  Why stick ads in front of people who clearly don't
want to see them?  There is enough traffic on P3D already.

And as for the thoughtless people who shamelessly post ads on Photo-3D, I
won't even mention the word "filter."  All I can say is, they won't get my
money.

Tom

P.S. Low traffic on Sell-3D indicates too few sellers.  People that want to
buy are still subscribed.
