18 lots starting at 1 or 2 pounds, no reserve, so lots of possible bargains!

Please confine auction announcements to lugnet.market.auction per the Terms of Use (See Discussion Group Terms and Conditions item #11).

I know that this is correct by the letter of the TOS, but can we put it to a vote, at least? I think both purists and clone-fans alike would be well served to allow clone auction info in OT.Clones, rather than letting them get lost in the volume of lugnet.market. I for one must confess that I’ve listed and discussed plenty of clone auctions in OT.Clones without causing great uproar or disruption.

I note, as an aside, that there is nothing explicit in the lugnet.cad or lugnet.cad.dat TOS indicating that only official LDraw DATs may be posted to those groups. Should I take this as authorization to post lots and lots of clone DATs there?

I have no intent of posting clone.DATs there of course, in deference to the sentiments of the people who use that group. Might we therefore take into account the opinions of people who browse OT.Clones? Is it possible to amend the charter for OT.Clones to allow clone auctions to be listed there?

Might this be worth mentioning to the lugnet.market crowd, too? Will they be so accommodating of non-LEGO items being listed and/or highlighted in that group?

Dave!

(...) I fully agree with Dave!. Keep all the clone info inside OT.Clones rather than holding too strict to the TOS and making things un-smooth. If it's that bad to post a non-market group (hey, it's worked just fine for ages!), then why not create a (...) (20 years ago, 25-Jun-04, to lugnet.admin.terms)
