One problem was that one had to read carefully to parse that you were not
pluging your auction, but that the auction was pluging Castle World.
Unless things change, it seems to be acceptable to reference an auction in
another discussion, but the post should be unabiguous as to what the purpose
of the post is (and that the purpose is discussion, not plugging the auction).

It may have been better to have posted in lugnet.market.auction, and once
discussion started, move it to lugnet.market.theory.
We're working on just what the rules should be and trying to come up with a
set of guidelines to make it easier for folks to know where they should post
auction related posts.
