That's pretty much what I was trying to get across.

Dvixen gone for the moment, so I can't actually get something in the FAQ.
However, if we can get list members as a whole to mark trade lists with
[TRADE] in the subject line, then people who aren't wanting to see them can
just filter then to the trash as I do with junk mail from known addresses.

GridSecs and Admin, consider the [TRADE] flag a list policy and help me start
getting it into the works. I know that with the trouble we have getting people
to avoid personal trade replies on SRCard this may be an impossible task, but
we can at least give it a try.
