I find it hard to give an opinion about this subject. I don't see a benefit
in it for myself. I check lugnet.fabuland and do a general search on the word
fabuland. Therefore, I now already find the pre-auction announcement if they
contain Fabuland sets.
On the other side these announcements in lugnet.fabuland wouldn't distract me
from other discussions going on there. I think this is the general case for
small newsgroups. In larger newsgroups these announcements may however give
much distraction from the other discussions in the group.
In short: I'm not in favour of allowing pre auction announcements in the
them-groups, but have not large problems with it if it is allowed.
Still I would like to make some comments on the provisos given by Scott in
case it would be allowed. Some large remarks and some minor remarks.

Is there a specific reason why there should be a division between privately run
auctions and Ebay ?
The method is the same, only Ebay is better known than a private auction side.
Also what to do with semi-privately auction sides (e.g. a Lego oriented auction
side run by an AFOL, but also open for other people)

Why only sets? I'm not only interested in sets, but also specific
theme-oriented pieces.

The idea is good, but is three years the right period (i.e. why not 2 or 4
years)

Should the theme-name be included? In the castle group itself PRE AUCTION
ANNOUNCEMENT would be sufficient because rule number 2 excludes everything that
is not castle. Also this title might cause many same title in the large
themegroups and therefore, probably also in the market.auction group

I think I don't understand how you want to have the pre-checking be done. Could
you explain it a little bit more. (The way I interpret it now is that a
pre-auction announcement should be first mailed to lugnet.admin.council and
after that to the specific theme-group, gnerating twice as much messages)
