I am looking for Technic parts, only. Why would I want to wade through lots
of other themes just to find Technic parts? If someone were selling Technic
parts, could they not post to both groups? I could read the Technic group
for my parts, and the general group would still exist for all the parts.
Most misplaced auction anouncements are in the appropriate theme, just not
the auction group. That is how I see it. (broken)
Build On!
