And then after Brett points out that Glen has already been asked to
consolidate the listings many months ago and has ignored the request,
only four days after the Brett's reminder there are SO FAR 11 (more
probably coming as I type this) new and separate postings on the
marketplace from proflaggers.com.  Now it's info at proflaggers.com
instead of glen at proflaggers.com, but I don't think that makes a
difference.

Now, the comment postings on the marketplace are entirely
inappropriate and very annoying, as are the prohitibited references to
Ebay auctions that abuse the free resource, but seeing the multiple
postings from proflaggers.com so soon after Brett's reminder is now
starting to irritate me a bit too.  I'm beginning to see Steve's point
of view, although I don't agree with posting about it in the
marketplace.

Brett's recent reminder of the polite request to consolidate the
postings should have been more than a sufficient hint.

What will it take for you to exhibit some more courtesy and
consolidate your ads in response to these reasonable requests to
follow the marketplace rules, Glen?  Those of us that subscribe to the
marketplace would still see your offerings without the multiple posts
to our inboxes, and anyone searching the marketplace for the items
you're offering will come up with your ads regardless of them being
consolidated.

Sincerely,

Kenneth
