I know this is a late reply but here it is.
I feel this would be a BAD thing, if or when I want to read auction
announcements I will go to *.auction.  I DO NOT want to read auction
posts in a theme group, it breaks the flow of the messages(or the mood
if you want).  Todd, I know you have indicated that this will not
happen and I Thank You for that fact.
Mike
All other themes are just spare parts for Castle!
