Hmm. Maybe its just an impression I've formed, but I thought the .shopping
group was more for third-party information - ie: "Etoys has a sale", "TRU is
discounting x", etc. I didn't think its charter included advertising. I had
always thought that if (for example) eToys started posting to Lugnet, it would
be in .buy-sell-trade because it crossed the line between a third party
"awareness" post, and a first party advertisement.
To be honest, I'd perfer it that way, where .shopping was free from direct
advertisment.
