Oh, dear. Of course they will - that is, if we ALLOW certain market posts in
ALL of .loc.us there will be a HUGE amount of market posts. Personally, I
think that market posts should be allowed in lower-level .loc groups
(eg, .loc.us.ma, or .loc.us.ca) but not in the high level group (.loc.us
specifically).

FTR, I definitely think that loc groups should have the choice of allowing
market posts, especially in non-US groups; I also think it should be possible
to have market posts in .loc.us.*, even a very good idea to do so if the
people using the group reach a consensus. BUT I think there will be too much
irrelevant market traffic (aka noise) if it is allowed in "lugnet.loc.us".
