For the record, I did not say that bragging didn't belong here.

Ooh, Scott's sentence structure there is icky. There's some double
negatavism going on, but the phrase "does it not belong" is usually
intended to mean the same is "is it true that it belongs"...

[...] Todd voiced his opinions as well, but it still
seems a little unresolved.

Larry did not break the T&C.

One thing I strongly suggest you also add to the T&C is that while you
appreciate having problem posts pointed out to you, it should be done
privately and left for you to determine if the post in question is
actually a violation. We've had a lot of hard words said (written) over
these issues which have in the end been ruled by yourself to not be T&C
violations.

Of course part of the problem right now is T&C which don't meet peoples
expectations (right now, I think they are not at all fuzzy, it's quite
clear to me that you can post a for sale flog any where you darn well
please so long as it otherwise is on topic for the group, and that you
may ONLY post an auction flog [ok, it's a little fuzzy just what
consitutes an auction flog] in lugnet.market.auction and lugnet.org.au
[are there any other org groups which specifically allow auctions?]).

So be it. Second, flogs in theme groups are (...) (24 years ago, 6-Mar-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.admin.terms)
