To make FOTW's come and find you (by subscribing to the group via e-mail?) I'm (...) (24 years ago, 21-Feb-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

Hmm, that's a very interesting example -- totally perfect for .buy-sell-trade as is, but (if there were a .shopping.hot group or somesuch) possibly borderline between that and .b-s-t (although .b-s-t would still certainly be perfectly fine).

Of course a cross post to buy-sell-trade that a particular person is willing (...) (24 years ago, 22-Feb-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
