This is Zoidberg. I've been tasked with providing general administration for the For Sale & Free Items forum.
First, there's no need for hostility, either here or via Private Messaging. It was not my intent to give you any grief over your post. I first pointed out that if you had items you were either selling or giving away that you needed to post a thread on the For Sale & Free Items side of the forum, and that there was the potential for an Administrator to move, close, or delete the thread if the post took a turn towards commerce.
Your initial post created a misunderstanding that you were in possession of Macs that you were/might be offering to members of the forum. Whether or not there was a monetary component was not the issue.
You also noted that you did not realize it was a separate forum; "Oh, I thought the thread above with a sticky was a thread, surprised to hear that it's a forum". Again, we were just trying to steer you to the right spot.
Others chimed in and let you know what the FS&FI forum was and how to access it, as did I via a PM. I apologize if I created a misunderstanding there re/whether or not the items were actually for monetary sale, as I've gotten used to just saying "the for sale forum", regardless of intent.
Again, however, I was just offering a heads-up and a comment regarding the thread. (And at this point it looks like someone did decide to relocate this message to the FS&FI forum.)
I meant no offense & no grief was intended.
