Ditto.  I do some auctioneering, and I feel that dividing up the .auction group
would be troublesome, but not nearly as troublesome as opening the auction
floodgates even a tiny bit and pouring auction announcements of *any* kind into
the regular theme groups.  That way, people who want auctions know where they'll
be found, and those who don't want to see auctions--save the humorous
third-party finds (like "RARE! BURPS") that appear in .general or
.market.theory, which I enjoy even when I don't want to see auctions.  The
structure is fine by me as it is, even if it sometimes seems too zealously rigid
to others.
