<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>The D Willy's posts and non-issue related tout post remind me of the poor unfortunates I saw in my youth that earned by necessity a few cents an hour by walking around with signboards saying "Eat at Joe's" or now the pathetic unfortunates that earn a little by waving annoying cardboard signs at busy intersections that say "Get Your Hair Cut at Billy's Bring Your Own Bowl Barbershop." Pity, however, is out of place for those who do mercilessly act as touts for free imposing on others time and patience on what is designed to be a forum to provoke and continue issue oriented discussion.<br>
<br></div>I agree with Gary Crabtree's excellent suggestion: combine all the spam like, non-issue oriented posts into one weekly post with links. Those that are interested can be directed to your exhibitions. You can even start your own D Willy's, Farmer's Market photos of peoples backsides on Main Street, etc list-serve and service the great multitude of people who want to indulge in such but spare the rest of us at the same time.<br>
<br></div>This is not a First Amendment issue. You are certainly free to post whatever and as much as you like, and if the past is any indication of your cognizance/consideration of other sentient being's opinions on this matter, you probably will. It is the wisdom of posting so much non-issue material that is in question. I would venture to guess that your posting of D Willy's ad-like material have lost that place more business than it has gained. Spam pisses people off.<br>

Occasional entertaining, advertising, charity soliciting, etc posts are certainly acceptable, but I fail to see the substantive merit of posting photos <i>ad nauseum</i> of people sitting around drinking and eating at one particular place of business.<br>
