I'll second these sentiments. Unfortunately, due to a combination of bad
email server here, and software that doesn't recognise re: as an addition to
a thread at the other end, my messages [including this, no doubt] seem to
get lost in the ether...Anyway, WE WANT OUR OWN MARKETPLACE , and we'd also
like Mark to be able to post in .au

[to compensate for the new group, I'd agree to drom the .au groups to .au,
.qld, .nsw, .vic, .tas, .act, .sa, .nt, .wa, .tradingpost (?) ]
