Which then determines whether people actually read the group
(and thus whether it merits existence). After all, I can think
of no Earthly reason why anyone would want to read BrickBay
sales info (since Dan has done a great job with the search engine
and e-mail notification of want lists), and a glut of flogs tends
to drive serious BrickBay discussion to .market.services. . .

| (...) <snip> (...) One reason someone may want to post about BB sales would be if they are having a set time frame sale or maybe free shipping for a short period of time only. That would not show up in the wanted emails or the search. Julie (23 years ago, 5-Jan-02, to lugnet.admin.terms)
