The world is large, and there are all kinds of people. I'd guess that a majority of the readers are *not* here to get auction information, and a fair amount of us are actually disturbed by it. I, for example, still live in the 'connect by time-rate phone' part of the world, and just connect, download the groups I want to read, disconnect, and read off-line. Each post that is uninteresting to me, is money thrown down the drain (and all auction/sale/trade posts are in that category for *me*) - news reader filtering doesn't help for that - the Lugnet way of splitting up interests in different groups does! People can be *very* interested in Lego, without having a compulsory habit to buy or sell. My own collection is one (1) set - the 8880 Super Car (OK, my kids have a fair amount too, but that's *their* Lego), and I feel no great urge to get more (or sell what I have).
