(...) Hrmmm, not so sure it would be pure noise for non-U.S. people. I think the US S@H specials can help to foster the formation of trading partnerships among all the world's Legomaniacs.

(...) Minor point: you're thinking of a .lsah group, not .lsahs. .lsah would cover all of S@H, .lsahs would be just the specials. (...) How about .lsah.specials?

(...) Todd, an idea... IMO, the word "market" says that it's stuff we're selling online, not official retailers, which I'm assuming don't sell here.
