Actually, it's not particularly tricky from my point of view.

While the LUG is of course free to agree on whatever policy it wants
regarding its mailing list (and the !cabal may wish to meet and make
such a decision), Naos isn't willing to host an advertising list.

When I agreed to host the list it was for user group members to
_discuss_ using Linux, issues they ran into, things they discovered,
etc.  If the character of the list changes substantially from that then
I'm going to take my ball and go home!  :-)

>1. Is it ok for lug people to sell each other stuff through the list
>(aka 6GB HDD for sale)

No.

>2. Is it ok for non-lug people to sell to lug people through the list

No.

Mu.

>4. What is the primary purpose of the list?

Linux usage discussion.  Linux users helping each other.
