Right then. I'll retract the word "blatant." Thanks for providing your other
example of a pre-auction solicitation for straight-sale items which wasn't a
problem -- it helps show much better what your intentions were.

Because it's not always not desired. And because prohibiting crossposting
between the groups may in fact worsen the problem as people will be likely
then simply to post a message twice, uncrossposted, to get around it.

The filter which limits you from posting to .market.buy-sell-trade isn't
there because of perceived intentions, it's there because of repeatedly
demonstrated actions.
If the filter is lifted once again, what do you think would be a fair and
reasonable consequence later down the road, should you happen to become lazy
(your word) or forgetful a fourth time and happen to post yet another auction
announcement in .b-s-t? What would be an effective deterrent to that?
