As a matter of fact, I'd rather see
more "compartmentalization" in some groups, specifically marketplace.pieces
and marketplace.sets.

What are the chances of seeing something like this?  Personally, I'd like to
see even *more* than that, with perhaps:

lugnet.marketplace.pieces
lugnet.marketplace.sets
lugnet.marketplace.castle (.space, .town, .technic, .robotics, etc)

with appropriate crossposting encouraged.

There's I think this would enhance the functionality of the marketplace
groups.  I know that I, for one, rarely visit them because I'm just not
interested in a lot of themes, etc, and currently it's still pretty much
anarchy.  If something was posted in lugnet.marketplace.castle, however, I
would know that I will find a castle set (or elements) in the list when I look
there, even if I have to sift through other Lego to get there.

It could be further broken down to lugnet.marketplace.auction.(pieces, sets,
[theme]), but that seems to be a bit much.  Simply saying that auction updates
are only appropriate in lugnet.marketplace.auction, while announcements are
appropriate in any .marketplace group (other than buy-sell-trade) would be
sufficient.

Or is that all too complicated?  I can never tell.
