   This sure tastes one *HELL* of a lot like an advertisement to me:

   Wonderful.  Not only is this poster violating netiquette by posting a
blatantly commercial advertisement, she posts one that is distressing by its
nature.

   The land being offered was most probably taken from farmers who were unable
to remain profitable in the current economy.  Note carefully the thinly
disguised intent to subdivide the property.  This is the slimiest of the 
slimey.

   I would suggest that the SA at the poster's site carefully explain the
use of the net to her.  *I* wouldn't mind if she lost her access, actually.
