Mark Harrison is completely right IMHO that his Fabuland auction

(That doesn't change the fact that he breached the T&C repeatedly, but it
does suggest that the community might be better served by a more lenient
T&C w.r.t. auctions in loc groups).

BTW - I was rather bemused by this:

So even though Mark was "right".

No, I said .loc.au was a was logical place, not that it was the right place.

By "logical place" I mean that common sense might suggest that posting it
there might make perfect sense (if someone was clueless about the T&C).


He was wrong to break a rule which was wrong even though in doing so he
was right?

It's always wrong to go back on an agreement.  I didn't say that the rule
(i.e., the agreement per se) was wrong, I said that the community might be
better served by a more lenient T&C w.r.t. auctions in loc groups.  Whether
that's the case or not is certainly the subject of some debate.
