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 (?) ]

This comes back to an issue I raised a while ago.
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/terms/?n=86 (and follow the • thread through)

Write me when you've (collectively) decided that you (as a • group) feel
assured that Mark can and will play fair (by the rules) • and I'll turn his
posting privileges back on, based on your good word as a group.

It's difficult to vouch for someone who lives 1000km away
(lots of miles!)
Surely a stiffer penalty would have been to ban him from
everywhere except
loc.au or even just Brisbane.

However, to get back on-topic (or where I want to take this • topic), my initial
comments a month ago were that the most frequent users of • loc.au (largely, but
not necessarily only, Australians) don't mind these sorts of • posts in the
loc.au group. I personally welcome them as I tend not to • frequent the market
groups due to lack of relevance, since they are mainly • dominated by US-related
market issues, and you could argue that a post about • sales/auctions in
Australia are relevant to the loc.au group.

As a regular contributor to the loc.au group I would rather • we petition Todd
to alter the T&C's to allow market posts in the loc.au group • rather than
collectively vouch for MarkH not violating these same T&C's again.

This is the key issue here. Not what Mark will/will not do,
let's just move
the goalposts.
Here's the wedding ceremony clause: anyone from loc.au who is
averse to
market-related posts should speak now or forever...

If things got out of hand we could always revert back, but I • doubt this would
happen given the distinct lack of market activity in • Australia (but that's
another issue ;-)

I don't want to see a loc.au.market group created as we • already have too many
groups under loc.au for the number of regular contributors • (although we are
growing :-). If Todd feels it is necessary to create this • group, then I would
suggest closing a few of the other sub-groups and • maintaining only the
state/territory groups.

One ng per state is definitely enough, otherwise most will be
talking to
themselves.

Comments, anyone???

Mark's not the messiah(he's just...),he does have the no.2
collection in Oz.
I cant see the sandgroper optometrist siblings posting in the future.
