I don't know who handles the ba.* newsgroup names, but I find
it really frustrating to have multiple ForSale groups with
many duplicate posts, rather than grouping them by topic.

Right now, we have:

ba.forsale
ba.market
ba.market.forsale
ba.wanted

I'd love to see it reorganized by topic instead. For example:

ba.market.computers
ba.market.music
ba.market.furniture
ba.market.vehicles
ba.market.misc

(or even adding:
ba.market.travel
ba.market.real-estate
ba.market.collectibles
ba.market.sports-equipment
but that seems a little overboard)

Opinions?
