I'm concerned about seeing protracted debates in .general or other places.
The .general group is (or should be) kept as "sacred" as possible as a
friendly meeting spot. Well, .build should be even more sacred than
general, for that matter, but I don't remember seeing debates start in the
.build area.

I'm sorry, that didn't come out right. What I meant was, if it belonged in
.auction and it isn't really an auction, then we'd need some other name
because .auction wouldn't make sense...which is what you just replied. Any
suggestions?
