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? Then at some time a 'real' .lsah group could
be created, if there was sufficient need.

Specials, discounts, sales, reductions.

Most shopping discussion is highly time-sensitive (retail sales are
typically only good for a week), location-sensitive (geography,
phone-in, online), low-size threads, high-noise. That sounds like a
sub-group of .market.

.shopping sounds like a reasonable approach as well. But I guess I keep
thinking that .market could end up a good distance away from .shopping,
in terms of the list of groups.
