There's a difference between posting a link to a specific deal, commercial or otherwise, and making a general comment about a resource that a poster finds helpful in cutting down on spending. We all deal with our addiction in different ways. I'd agree that once a post tends to facilitate more acquisitions by others it's contrary to the spirit of the thread.
Just as there's a difference between posting, "I slipped up and bought the Kindle Daily Deal today," which is fine, and adding a link, which is not, I'd hope that a reference to the MR Library wouldn't encourage stockpiling, which most of us seem to want to avoid in addition to spending money. That's in part because some would consider it an addition to their TBRs and in part because it feeds that acquisitive urge which most of us are trying to contain.
