Yet, reading the charters for all three groups, there's nothing that

three. • <snip>
Here's my suggestion (new words are delimited with underlines):

market.buy-sell-trade: Community trading post, items wanted, items for
straight sale (no auctions _or third parties like BrickBay_),
experiences, market analysis, etc.

Strike "_or third parties like BrickBay_"
and c/straight sales/straight sales including third party sites like
BrickBay and other straight sale venues/

So if I am selling a set on my site, I can't post to .bst by both of your
modified charters, right?

market.brickshops: Discussions _, announcements, sales_ and _other_
informational postings related to personal online LEGO-related "shops"
and third-party buyer/seller services (BrickBay, etc.)

Strike "_, announcements, sales_ and _other_" and add "but specifically NOT
including announcements of sales, new items, entries and exits from the
business, etc."

As I read it, my post would be correct under Cary's modified charter, but
not under Larry's.  Larry's seems to only allow discussions, right? No
announcemnts of any type except "Brickbay is down..."

market.shopping:  Retail, mail-order, and _commercial_ online shopping:
information, discussions, experiences, analysis; FOTW's (Find of the
Week), sales, promotions, coupon offers; LEGO Shop-At-Home Service
(phone/flyer specials, availability, etc.); liquidation outlets,
second-hand stores, garage sale tips, etc.

I'm OK with this one, although arguably garage sale tips belongs in
"theory", ne? Garage sales are not commercial endeavours nor are they likely
to persist in one place long enough for a post about a particular sale to be
of any value.

Again, under this modified charter my post would still be appropriate. I
guess it depends on your definition of "Retail" or "Commercial" online
shopping.  I see my site to be just as valid as any other online store,
albeit my stock is more limited.

Comments please...
BEN

(...) No, that is not correct. Perhaps I didn't post my mod very clearly ("straight sale" gets expanded explicitly to include third party shops and Cary's prohibition against them is struck) but my intent is that BST, and not .brickshops, is the (...)
