Personally I don't mind the occasional "FS" post. I for one have used
the FS to sell some semi-obscure stuff, rather than resorting to eBay.
I've bought test equipment via TTL as well, since I feel like its better
represented than something from some TE broker on eBay.
I may be biased, as I've sold stuff on TTL before, and would like to be
able to do it in the future. A classified type post is not noise to
me, but I'm always buying and selling anyway. My suggestion would just
be that if anyone abuses it (posting weekly advertising for a commercial
venture), just unsubscribe them on a case by case basis. TTL is low
enough bandwidth that its never bothered me getting anything marked
[TTL], even mixed in with all the hundreds of emails I get daily.
