Itīs not as complicated as it might sound. Just hit the reply button,
then REPLACE the list address with the personal address of the posting
person, and send it off (after pointing out your trade wishes etc.).
Others will probably have the same question, thatīs why this went to the
list.
We donīt want trade replies on the list because it really confuses
readers and clogs the servers. A typical trade list gets 3-20 replies.
Every day, 2 to 5 people post trade wishes. That would make about 35
replies averagely every day. A typical reply looks like this:

I want Your Torgo. I offer King of The Hill and Ice Queen or Dirk
Montgomery. Tell me if You still want my Killer Drone. I hope Your catīs
well again. (exaggerated:)

If you donīt know who this posting is meant to go to, youīll get annoyed
soon, especially after reading 35 of these.
