I would take that as a good indication that the *.admin suffix would not work well in this situation. As for me... if I saw bla.bla.bla.admin I would think it was a newsgroup for those folks who 'administer' the other newsgroup named bla.bla.bla. Now, if you want DBAs to read your newsgroup, end it with DBA, makes sense, doesnt it?

And if I were to look for Jobs, I most certainly would NOT look in a newsgroup called 'marketplace' or some such vague name.
