You know, I have no problem with those on the list who want to sell
their TP-related items or even someone who pops in to let us know he/she has
a TP-related item to sell--clearly, it all applies to subject matter of the
list and many of us can or have taken advantage of the deals we can often
get from such info.
But this very generic "Dear Computer User" ad for keyboards, mice,
etc. just plain strikes me as blatant commercialism that I'd rather not see.
Am I the only one that feels that way?

Women often ask, "What do men really want, deep in their souls?"
The best answer--based on in-depth analysis of the complex and subtle
interplay of thought, instinct, and emotion that constitutes the male
psyche--is that deep in their souls, men want to watch stuff go 'bang'.
