I could not agree more.

It seems unfair to point out this and that item being sold on eBay when we 
explicitly hold our members to not pointing out their own auctions. Why should 
the OM list help publicize auctions of everyone but its own members?  The only 
fair thing seems to be to keep all postings pointing to eBay auction off list, 
as Frank suggests.
