Let me address the issue of flooding:
Of course this applies to everybody, but has been evident in several "story"
posts. When replying to a gaggle of comments regarding your post, it would
be considered common courteousy to reply to as many comments as possible in
*one* post. For example, if 8 people reply to your post, please refrain from
posting another 8 replies. Use one or two posts, or e-mail.

I'd persoanlly go with Danon this issue, I think replying to individual posts
helps threading, and makes it easier for people to follow the discussions.

Selling items in lugnet.castle (or any subtheme group)
I mean hey, if you want to sell a slew of castle walls, go to the horse's

want that, do you?

No I don't, and I guess it hadn't occured t me taht things might get so out of

know what may have gone on before that. But the way I see it, I don't have time
to check up .buy.sell.trade as oftenas I would lke to. If someone is selling
say castle walls, and only posts there, I may miss it, which kind of sucks.
That's just my take; as I mentioned, I will respect whatever lugnet ettiquette
there may be, if and when I sell anything.
