(...) [snip] (...) Market theory could include algorithms, etc. but my initial reaction is - What makes an auction good, just, fair, well run - it turns into an ethical discussion for me - although that might not be a bad topic for here either.

(...) Hey, that's a cool name that might work. Are these analysis/theory threads becoming too much to follow in a primiarly-non-discussion group? Are these discussions noise here? If so, then yes, there should be a separate group for this sort of (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Is that a case in favor of .market.theory or in favor of .market.tech? In my mind, ethical issues fit much more closely with what .market.theory means but not so much with what .market.tech* means, so ethics would be a case in favor (...)

Use appropriate abbreviation here) The topic du jour may be auction philosophies and the best rules to build an auction around, but there are other discussion-type topics which could (...)

(...) I like market.theory better than technology for two reasons 1) as Todd said, cut back on people thinking they can buy CD players there... 2) Theory encompasses technology. 3) the Usenet precendent.
