jack
did you read the first paragraph in his post?
Jack,
In case you missed it.
"Few things left over from the midwest Fly Fishing Expo I'm listing at pretty much my cost. I run a business but I cleared this with Ladyfisher first since I'm just selling this stuff for basically my cost on it. just would rather move it here than going through the whole ebay thing so that's why it's low cost."
When Ladyfisher (the owner and publisher of this site) clears a post, it's okay with the moderators.

You can't go much higher for a stamp of approval than that! 8T :) ;)
jack may also be asking about his user name "Midwest Custom Fly Rods" being used as a commercial advertisement for his custom fly rod business. he is not listed in the wall of sponsors.
might be a good idea to review all user names that may pose as free advertising.
just saying
Normand you are absolutely correct, that was/is a mistake which will be corrected. Soon.
LF
me lady,
i've never met you, but your script reflects a very professional and business-like woman who gets things done.
is that your stately portrait on the home page wearing a Sage, maybe a Simms?

Boy some people aren't happy unless they can complain about something are they.
As Ron said I cleared the post with LF first and the only reason I even posted those rods here was because they were what I had left over from the MWFF expo and if you look at what I sold them for you will see I honestly didn't make a dime on them. The only reason I even posted them here was because I thought I would give some members here the opportunity to get a rod that nomally sells for $150-$200 for just my cost ($89). So I thought I'd be helpful and as long as LF didn't care then I'd offer them here for cost rather than put them on ebay to a stranger.(where I would have made money on them BTW)
Far as my user name I used that name because when I joined a year/two yr ago I actually joined this site because a member here I knew from a rod building forum asked me to join because there was a few guys in the rod building section that he thought I could help out. And since most people know me from my rod company name then I used that so they knew who I was. Has nothing at all to do with "free advertising" as anyone that knows me knows for the past 5 yrs I'm constantly busy and the last thing I need is more work. I' didn't think I needed to "defend" why I'm here but since my reasons for being here are being questioned then I will just tell you this. Normally I post 95% of my posts in the rod building section of this site, guys in the rod building section build their own rods so if I was here for "advertising" purposes why would I post mainly in a section where guys build their own rods?? Also I've donated rods to the JC memorial bench raffle and never asked for anyone to mention that I did that because I didn't need any recognition for that, and only reason I'm saying that now is because I'm being questioned as wanting "free advertising". Not to mention you can ask a number of guys in the rod building section and they will tell you that I get them parts for rods on my Wholesale account and don't make a dime doing that for them just because I like to help out fellow members.
If the admins here have a problem with my user name then that's fine all they have to do is Pm me and I will have them change it. I won't leave the site or be upset, because I'm not here for any gain and I'm not a petty person, it really doesn't matter to me at all and I already mentioned why I used that name when I joined.
Steve
Speaking for myself , I'm one of the people that
you have given great advise to on the rod building
forum and I would for one like to say thank you. Also
I don't see a problem at all with your post. Seem's
to me you went right to the lady in charge. If you
have her O.K. , why should anyone have a problem
with it. I think your a great guy Steve , you've
got my vote.
If the lady in charge says it's OK, then why in the hell are we having this conversation?
