List-only offers / services ? - was Web Hosting Providers - was Rapidhoster Pop3 config

["Alex Monaghan" <ha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It would be useful to be able to start the search for my next purchase of a
"Type 42 HA Widget" and potentially purchase from a
"friend" on the list
rather than from a stranger.

I'm not sure how you'd control it for any list only discount rates though,
we wouldn't want to clog the list with people joining just to get a
discount
widget, but then again potentially a newbie may well not have any posts to
their name, yet still be a genuine HA enthusiast. ... I deal with the
technical issues, I'm sure someone will have a solution !
