It seems to me that if you want to put it in buy-sell-trade start the post
with "UK only" (or the title) and then you can see it in the brief lists or
do a search in BST for UK and it would come up.
I do understand Todd's point. He wants to keep .loc as locations.
I guess the responsability to specify locations is on the individual who
posts. Even I wish people would be more specific on where they are shipping
from and to so I could decide on weither or not to bid on the object
(shipping can be a killer). It is hard to remember where everyone lives. :-)
my 2 cents,
Jude
