Wouldn't the simplest thing to have be "lugnet.market.loc..."? (with .uk
under that)
There isn't one already, and I haven't read any arguments that would
indicate that that would go against any design criteria.
Or am I missing something?
Phil.
PS: Until (if) that's how it's done, I believe the unofficial standard has
historically been to preface the subject line (in loc.uk) with "Shopping
Report..." (well, for public offers anyway)
