I think the group purchase messages are fine in this group, but I think 
we would scare fewer people from this list if it were moved to a
newsgroup.  Even if some people would prefer to have a mailing list,
what is stopping the formation of say:

  comp.sys.wearable?

I'd try to set it up myself, but I think you have to write up a full
page justification and get people to vote on it.  Which smacks of work.
