It has already been discussed, and that was the conclusion. Sorry, can't
remember the reference.

But let's cut to the chase.

There are roughly four sorts of people:

1. sellers
2. buyers
3. people who don't mind auction posts
4. people who do.

Given that RTL is full of FS & FA posts, and we're not there, I guess
that most people fall into category 4.

Even if you're in 2 or 3, the chances are that you'd prefer *all*
announcements to say in .auction & .b-s-t.

So for the sake of keeping *most* people happy, let's just keep all FS
or FA announcements out of loc.uk, and in the .market groups, where they
belong.

Sorry to the UK sellers, but there's only a very few of you, and you're
outnumbered :-)
