It certainly may be the case that more exposure occurs in the .buy-sell-
trade group than in the .auction group alone, but please understand that
that doesn't magically make it any less off-topic for the .buy-sell-trade
group. Shucks, if it was cross-posted to .announce and .general and
.trains and .build, then that would be even a better place to conduct it,
right (sic)?

Hmm. What evidence do you base that assessment upon, and to what are you
comparing it?

Hey, I just work here. If anyone leaves, we all lose.
But anyway, let's be realistic here. Combining the .auction group with the
.buy-sell-trade group is not going to increase exposure of auctions in any
meaningful way. It would only do one thing: drive people away who don't
want to hear about auctions all day long.
There are two main .market groups, one for auctions, the other for non-
auctions. There is no reason to change that. People who choose not to
read the .auction group do so for a reason, and they understand full well
that they might be miss out on something. That's a risk they take.
IMO, it is wrong, and greedy, and selfish, to try to bend the rules and
post auction noise in a non-auction group. Period. End of story.
