Just what I was about to say. I've spent close to $200 in the game now
between Starters and Boosters, and still had a smattering of commons
and uncommons to get ahold of. I've been filling in those holes
through trades on the list.
I don't see a problem with including commons or uncommons in your
trade lists. In the FAQ and on the list it has been stated that the
subject line of posted lists should clearly state who's and what they
are (i.e. - Loki's Trade List). If you're not interested in seeing
someon'es list, then delete this and related posts. If you are
interested in trading, then I'd imagine you'd want to see the cards
someone has to offer and what you might trade for them, so I don't see
what commons/uncommons in the same list will bother you.

Trading's only 50% of why the list came into existence. :o)
As I've said. Trading and Needs lists are to be clearly identified by
their subject line. If a member isn't interested in seeing these
posts, they can delete the message and it's realted thread w/o having
to read through it. I feel this is covered under common sense and
courtesy.
BTW for those interested, the first stages of our FAQ is now available
on my web page.
