Now that we've received confirmation from the office, I think the idea of a separate Powderworks trading group sounds like a great idea.   What do others think?
 
It will also lessen the tension that appears to be rising in the group.  Not good!
 
Cheers,

Hi there Powderworkers!

Could I suggest one possible solution to the trading issue?

I belong to another yahoo group whose purpose is to trade Genesis live 
shows (yes, the British group of the '70-80ies).Apparent ly Genesis is 
not against trading as long as no money is involved. There are clear 
trading rules and a lot of goodwill. Activity is lower now due to the 
torrent fashion. Live shows are vined or weeded or just traded between 
individuals.

My suggestion is: why not create another yahoo group whose only purpose 
would be to trade Midnight Oil shows ("Oil-trade" if you like)? Then 
trading would be out of the Powderworks group scope and that would 
satisfy many among us, I believe.
When the trading question would pop up again, it would be easy to reply 
by sending the requester over to the other group.

This is a suggestion, not a proposal as I understand setting up a group 
& moderating it requires time that I don't have myself.

But if any fan feels he can do it, why not trying?

As I have read over there: "It is not a lifestyle, it is a hobby!"

Cheers
Gilles
