Brickbay subgroup again

I know this has come up before, but I'd like to request a new group
dedicated to BrickBay. Since BrickBay has its own discussion forum, this
would likely be limited to shop announcements and BrickBay status, for
instance when it is offline or erratic.

I suggest market.brickbay or possibly announce.brickbay (although
follow-ups rarely go to announce.* groups.)

The benefit is that it would allow market.buy-sell-trade to be focused
on transactions that are solely advertised in buy-sell-trade. Currently
the lego marketplace is split into Lego Direct (lego.direct), commercial
(market.shopping), auctions/ebay (market.auction), with the rest
including BrickBay in market.buy-sell-trade. By splitting BrickBay out,
market.buy-sell-trade can be focused more on one-time wants, sales and
trades rather than ongoing store announcements.

OK, I take it all back. I'd like to request a new group dedicated to
brick stores and brick store hosts (so Baylit and future Brickbay
competitors aren't excluded). Maybe lugnet.market.brickshops?

Any progress on a decision about lugnet.market.brickshops? I noticed that recently a few experienced members have advertised their shops in lugnet.market.shopping. The shopping subgroup doesn't specifically exclude this. I have gotten used to the (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
