Admittedly there have been a lot of trades that should have been private
that got posted to the list accidentally or at least unintentionally. I
have to disagree that trade lists should be eliminated. I don't think
that you speak for most people, because I have personally traded or am in
the process of trading with well over 50% of the people who are constantly
making remarks. Not everyone has the money to go out and buy all of the
cards they want or need, either because it's not the ruling passion in
their life, or they are going to school or whatever. To eliminate trades
lists is almost like making this an elitist group where only a select few
can talk and discuss. And really, how long does it take to read in the
subject line that the message involves a trade and skip right past it.
Anyway, that's my $1.72 about that.
