what if we put the ban on Want to Buy, Want to Sell, and Want to Trade postings, but continue to allow the Hoping For A Miracle (HFAM) type of listings?

Anybody out there want to donate a "Chronomatic" dial for a Siffert Autavia or maybe trade it for an unused Trackmate stopwatch?

thanks for the spirit!! The Forum has been too quiet these last few days.
