By commercial activity, I take it you don't mean someone who sells a few hundred plants at swap meets, garden club sales, and this site, but rather someone or some company that annually nets a living wage for 1 or more persons selling 1000's of plants per year.

Since joining in January 2008, I have yet to see an ad from someone in this latter category. Did I miss one? Who specifically?

I would personally find it annoying to have the Classifieds filled up with ads from "commercial" growers. However: In what way is it not fair?
