Being the helpful person I am, I posted, "pictures would be helpful"--nothing else -- and got an 180 day "infraction" for crosstalk, with the admonition to "read the rules".
I messaged the a-shat moderator apologizing, and saying I was just trying to help with the sale, and he replied asking "if I could read"? I no longer frequent said forum, and departed leaving behind some less pleasant crosstalk.
