I understand both Todd and Peter's thoughts, and agree with both... How about creating lugnet.market.loc.xyz groups if a sufficient number of people from that area are interested in a more targeted group. These groups would welcome all market posts (...)

(...) A valid suggestion. My only problem with it (and this is my personal view) is that it is creating *another* group which requires monitoring.

Some thoughts: I don't want to see lugnet.loc.us turn into a jumble of market posts, which could happen if the default was to allow all types of market traffic in the loc groups. One way to handle it is allow the market posts in the loc groups by (...) (25 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.admin.terms)
