Well, unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it :( [ at least not
between 6:30am and 7pm...work and travel to-from ] which is when the best
time to post is to catch these discussions. However, If Todd could find a
way of checking from the header info of e-mail postings where the message
belongs in a thread, part of the problem would go...

and if somone seems to be abusing the group [ eg posting every day asking
for sets that they asked for the day before, and the day before, etc. or
posting sale/auction information which doesn't have a primarily/solely
Australian/regional emphasis.] then the same requirements would be
used...say x people request this persons privileges be revoked
