Just my opinion, but is there anyone who thinks the thread will make a difference? If mom & dad couldn't teach proper etiquette in 20 or so years of child rearing, what makes us think a "stranger" can do so in "140 characters?"
Besides, how hard is it to say, "I'm not running any specials. Watch for my ads. I'll post when I run them." 5 seconds? Honestly, I'm sure it's frustrating at times, but a large part of their job is fielding inquiries from prospective clients. Quickly dispatch those who show a lack of understanding and move on to the next as, threads like this will only serve to inspire some degree of drama.
The provider can handle this quickly and quietly. Nothing more than a rant here which will bring out antagonists. Again, just a perspective from another of the board's, "idiots." Be well and enjoy.
