We went through this discussion a few months back.
I asked for a lugnet.loc.uk.buy-sell-trade, or
lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade.uk, or something similar to be set up.
But dispite the disussions it never seemed to get resolved?
Any chance now? (Todd are you watching?)
If we cant get one set up on lugnet, it is very easy to set one up of our
own using http://groups.yahoo.com/ or similar.
I love using lugnet, but at the same time, cant see why we couldnt have a
facility of our own in the UK if we want to. I would happily set it up.
Costs nothing but a little time.
regards
lawrence
