James, could you give some examples of non-marketplace bulk ordering topics?
Do you mean things like selection, quantities, colors, wish lists, etc., or
things like speculation, excitement, etc.?

Once upon a time there was a thread about possible subgroups of
lego.direct, such as .bulk, .rant, .rave, .sets, etc.... If we did
something like that for bulk-oriented topics, it would imply participation
(or at least understood reading) by LEGO Direct. Is this something LEGO
Direct would find useful? Is the current volume in lugnet.lego.direct too
heavy? Or not heavy enough, such that subgroups would help encourage more
in-depth discussions?
Outside of .lego.direct.*, I can't think of a compelling location for a
bulk-oriented topics group, and I'm not convinced that fragmentation of such
topics is necessarily bad in the first place (is it?). I think of it as
just another aspect to the hobby that comes up in virtually every group from
time to time, each with its own take on the issue.
All things considered, I'd probably like to see lugnet.lego.direct.bulk
above anything else, if LEGO Direct would feel comfortable with a certain
level of chatter (speculation, excitement, etc.).
