I agree with Larry. Here's how the charter is worded:
***
lugnet.market.brickshops (group):
Discussions and informational postings related to personal online
LEGO-related "shops" and third-party buyer/seller services
(BrickBay, etc.)
***
And here's examples of my thinkin' on it:
I see as an example of "discussions" as a thread on how the feedback system
could be improved at BB.
I see as an example of "informational postings" as someone checking in to see
if BB is down, or is it just them type of thing.
I don't see anywhere in the above that lugnet.market.brickshops is a place to
post store openings/reopenings or sales annoucements.
The lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade page reads like this:
? Community trading post, items wanted, items for straight sale (no auctions),
experiences, market analysis (1), etc.
Since lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade is for "items for straight sale" (which is
what BrickBay is) I think b.s.t. is the appropriate place to post store
openings/reopenings or sales annoucements.
Suz or Todd could we please have a clearification on this issue?
Thanks!
Julie
(1)I added the (1) (2)
(2)It seems to me "market analysis" is out of place in b.s.t, it belongs in
market theory.(Quick check...it is there as well.)
