I disagree, Jeff. I think this is a very good question. Companies all over advertise prices when they want to sell something. Besides, someone might post information that directly effects you in your town. And it isn't like there is any "price fixing" going on here. So what if you in Steelton and I in Pensacola agree to charge the same labor rate, how would that effect customers in either of our cities?
