It sounds like there is not a request for explanation of the rules, it sounds like there is a request for justification of the rules. I guess I would ask, Why should anyone justify the rules?

They are.

Period, enough said. I am not trying to be a jerk, but there are other places to sell and buy...heck a person could create their own forum...and even charge people to be part of it.

Here we have a free forum that has a LOT of members, it has been going on for a lot longer than I have been a member, they seemed to do just fine without me...I see no reason that they should justify anything to me. I think it is up to me to follow their rules in exchange for them allowing me to be part of this and learn so much from it.

But that is just me...
