Still collecting more data/thoughts...
Here are a couple excellent examples of posts which just happened today,
BTW, which illustrate the difficulty in drawing lines where non-auctions
are concerned:
1. http://www.lugnet.com/castle/?n=563
This isn't even remotely a "I've got something to sell" post, yet
if you read into it, you might conclude that perhaps the poster
has one which he may be willing to sell for the right price. In
that sense, even though it's not an FS, it could conceivably have
the exact same outcome as an actual FS. Certainly the question
posted is not out of line, either.
2. http://www.lugnet.com/znap/?n=15
This is more of a FS post, and therefore probably "belongs" more in
.market.shopping, but on the other hand, it is also arguably something
with much more relevancy and "staying power" than a typical FS post.
The available stock and prices are likely to be "good" for, say, at
least a couple months, compared to a very short time period for most
FS posts, where the poster usually wants to get rid of the item
quickly. So this one is almost like an informational post. It's also
arguably special in that Znap is only available in certain markets.
Still cogitating,
--Todd

| Looking at what is happening with wrong group postings I have some thoughts. It seems to me that we need to sit back and let Todd handle the wrong group postings until he specifically asks for help. When that occurs, I think it would be wise to (...)
