Right!

Well, maybe some folks who are only interested in the FS/WTB stuff.
But that probably doesn't amount to many people.

Why?!?!? Maybe there are people who aren't even aware of this list who
will see OM-Traders first, become interested, and join this list later. Or,
like I mentioned above, maybe there are people who are only interested
in the FS/WTB list. Why not just leave it up to people to decide for
themselves what they want to join/read and what they don't???

If you need any help/suggestions/proof-reading/etc. let me know.
