And yet a further question - I used to post all my Brickbay info in b-s-t. I
hadn't posted for months, added some sets, some discounts, some parts, so I posted
in b-s-t.
I got a private email telling me I shouldn't do that, to post to .brickshops.
To me, .brickshops is more about discussing the running of brickshops, not
advertising what you have for sale. To ME, that kind of post belongs in b-s-t.
I'll post in .brickshops for now, but I sure would like to know if it's OK to post
in b-s-t or .shopping for Bricklink shops, as I read those far more than I read
.brickshops, and I'm sure other people do the same.
