They also have the potential for other auction-ish abuses, (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

I wouldn't call it an "auction-ish" abuse; isn't it simply a human-nature-ish abuse of human-nature that happens to appear naturally in, among many other places, the dynamics of OBO sales as well as (...)

That could even be done without changing the newsgroup names. The things I would be in favor of for more (...)
