That would be spam, wouldn't it? As much as I like and love NTLK, if I got a
spam telling me about it, I wouldn't be compelled to join--contrariwise, I
would be turned off.
I do like, however, the idea of "auctioning" NTLK. That may work. Another
idea would be to email the sellers, asking them if they would like to put a
link to NTLK, or maybe a graphic link.
The danger of this, however, is that some people may see it as NTLK
endorsing auctions. I don't know if we want to get into that, or even come
across as if we did. Do we _want_ to endorse certain merchants on eBay?
Probably leaving things as they are is the best plan...
