Eeeegads, thats a good one!
Incidendtly, as Oceania isn't given a place in the football world cup, the
winner of oceania has to play the fifth placed Sth American team for the final
place from Sth America. Ripped off i say!

Well i said that as i thought that .org. groups only allowed members to post,
as it turns out I was wrong. I just went and checked some of the group
charters. So i'm assuming that yes anyone can post into the group, though
posting doesn't mean automatic membership :-)

So then if anyone can post into org.au(oceiania) then how is it possible to
limit auction posts? This is an administrative nightmare for Todd if
organisations start saying who can post, who can't post, who can read, who
can't read, who's only allowed to see the third word in each line etc..
But on the same note if you don't place some restrictions surely we'll get to
a point where every auctioner and their dog will be posting auction notices
into org.au even if it has nothing to do with the organisation.
Hypothetical: someone in the US wants to auction an item and is willing to
ship to Australia, can they post an auction notice into org.au ?? or does it
belong in the general auction group?
I think I'm asking more questions that solving (so please ignore this bit):
1) should only members be allowed to post to org.au?
2) Should org.au be broken into org.au.auctions (for auctions),
org.au.comments (for non-member comments)
hmmm...
