But why put put both in the same newsgroup? Having a newsgroup hierarchy
allows these two types of messages to be separated from each other. Someone

Someone who cares about "TRU sales in my town" might not care about stores
posting their own overpriced merchandise ads, so those should be separated.
You're the one who told me I should subscribe to .shopping so I wouldn't keep
missing sales. :-)
