I saw that after the fact, but in my view until a trade account is established no direct selling should occur and then only in the trade rooms.
In saying that it is possible to contribute to a forum as current/active trade, share knowledge and experience and not actually be actively selling/trying to make sales every chance they can. Many trade members manage to do it and do it well. I am not anti trade having spent most of my adult working life - not these days though - working in either brown goods or specialist audio retailing but seeing audio related questions turned into selling exercises and at times very obviously so and in ones face does get wearisome and by the way I am not saying Gala is doing that.
