I agree, I just think that they should also be more careful about the
subject lines of their posts. As someone who DOES enjoy trading on the list,
I would also like to see the dissappearence of subject lines like: Crazy
little thing called HUH??? They should at least say that they are trade
lists, and perhaps even have a (TRADE) keyword at the beginning.
