Yea, I agree, I think lugnet.people probably is the best place.
lugnet.market... is also acceptable I think. lugnet.general is probably
ok, but not preferred (I'd actually really like to see us try and
migrate most discussion out of lugnet.general so it really is just the
stuff with no good place to discuss and sort of very wide spread
information, in some ways like lugnet.announce, but allowing
discussion).

Sounds like a good idea.
