They are two names for the same concept, i.e. "thing". Therefore, they
*are* the same thing. If one person calls you Lar and another Mr. P,
that doesn't make Lar and Mr. P different people.
Also, the groups do not form a partition. SBA/OBO is allowed in both.
What is allowed in the groups is based on the concept, and there is an
overlap in the case of SBA/OBO. It will reduce confusion if we call
SBA/OBO "SBA" when posted in the auction group, and "OBO" when posted
in the b-s-t group, but that doesn't make them different things, it
just means they have different names in different contexts.
