But a purpose of the list could also include informing about sales to the
list only, and we've already established a very nice patter of FS items
direct to the list. I personally don't want that to change. The question
is how to inform members of other members' eBay activity without cluttering
up the list with URLs to eBay auctions. As I see it, a purpose of making
it a little bit more fuss to do eBay on list is to encourage sellers to
offer their items on list first.
