I'm not really sure if I like all these new newsgroups but it's too late to talk about that now anyway. I'd just like to have a clarification if it is ok to post buy/sell/trade, auction or other market-like announcements in these new groups. If it (...)

(...) Yup! But also, the new groups are the natural discussion-counterparts to the new themed sub-areas of the website, which are just now in their infancy. For example, the Castle area (URL) and its counterpart group lugnet.castle are wide open to (...) (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
