There was a thread a couple months ago about possibly reorganizing the
.market area.  I really was serious about that and feel we need to attack
this again.  My current thoughts are along the lines of blowing away the
two groups .market.auction and .market.buy-sell-trade, and creating in
their place the three groups .market.forsale, .market.wanted, and
.market.swap.

I wish you would expand sale to two groups, Ebay and Non-Ebay.


I'd also like to modify the Terms of Use Agreement (specifically in the
Discussion Group Terms and Conditions area) to be much more clear on flogs.

If we can rearrange the .market area so as to render the issue of "what is
and is not an auction?" a moot issue, all we have to do is define "what is
and is not a flog?" and define where it is and isn't appropriate.

How about having a definition that would exclude "for profit" posts. This
way if you found a local sale or wanted to pick up sets (at cost) for people
they could be posted. If I wanted to make money off the endeavor then they
would not be allowed.

I'd like to kick off a discussion about the current state of the newsgroup structure here -- missing groups, unnecessary, groups, annoyingly or confusingly named groups, etc. The goal of this discussion is to come away with a list of practical (...)
