having read all the comments in ba.market computers, i find the arguments
on both sides fairly persuasive. on the one hand, tom's ads are a
*service* to the community...we reap the benefits of his free advertising
by enjoying his low prices. win/win. on the other hand, he could be the
tip of an iceberg, and i don't want the iceberg. plus, he is clearly
violating a rule-tho' to what extent that rule and the structures that
created it still represent the community is an open-ended question, given
how quickly the community is changing.

i DO wish tom and his peers would be a lot cooler about their advertising.
pick a few groups, and eschew 
*********SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS, ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i'm decidedly undecided...which won't stop me from buying from him if i
see the right deal...:-)
