Or maybe I unconciously skip over them, so their frequency is not a memorable number. At any rate, it has not been bothersome to me, but we do have to be careful about misuse. But those are "personal" for sales. What about Gov't agencies or Gov't contractors? Does the reg prohibit, say, NASA advertising that it has an excess VAX that can be picked up by any other Gov't agency for the cost of packing and shipping (as is done by USnail with the Defense Automation Resources Information Center's Excess Automation Equipment BULLETIN)?
