So I go to post on the buy.sell.trade board and am told I cannot start a new thread because I have 76 posts and must have 100. I think I get the rationale, but I have been here since day one, I promo this site on my site and I am not going to spam post 25 times just to sell a 20 gallon turtle setup with filter heater, heat lamp and all gear for $50/obo, delivered in NE Ohio or to sell any of my remaining baby boas for $60 each (will consider wholesale offers on lots of 6 or more.

Rant over.

If you aren't willing to spam then I don't think you're cut out for this site.

A simple solution would've been to PM me and let me know. I'm a reasonable person and would have looked at your history on the site and posted it for you. Just sayin'. :)

I don't think he was actually "ranting", read his post again, all the way through, lol.
