Critter or someone mentioned having a sticky with lists of our have's and wants for trades just within this forum- which is a great idea, and easy enough to accomplish. I'm happy to get the ball rolling on another sticky but thought this would be a good place for us to lay our our 'guidelines' and ideas for how to post, trade etiquette, how to manage your post etc.

The truth is, we have a place for this on our DG info pages/trade logs etc. But it would be nice to have one sticky thread that you could scroll through to look at the have's/wants list in a consolidated way. The other way, you have to go to each person's trade list, which could be time consuming.

Sure would save on eBay and other mail order purchases if we have the plants/leaves to trade here first.

my thoughts are that each person could post ONLY once. Then each person is responsible for editing their one post as their list changes (i.E. one post per person so this list doesn't go on forever and ever). Here's an idea, and just that, not dictating at all, but just kind of 'stream of consciousness' typing here.

(SAMPLE)
(PL = Plant, PT = Plantlet, LV = Leave(s) etc..)

HAVE:

Allegro Harvest Moonglow -PL
Aly’s Rosy Baby -PT
Aly's Blizzard Bunny -LV
B-Man's Barcellona -PT
Maggie Lee -PT
Penny Lover -LV


WANT:
Aly's Key Lime Pie
Bud's Irish Eyes
Newtown Peer Review
Painted Silk

Lists are in Alphabetical order (MS word will do this for you with a click of a mouse), and use the code as to what you have Plants, Plantlets, Leaves, Leaf Pot or what ever we want to call it)

I'd likely manage my have/want list in MS word then just copy/paste it into the sticky.

Anybody like this idea? Other ideas? Additions? etc... If so, it's easy enough for us to request that Terry make us a stick out of a new thread. if not, no problem. Just thought I'd offer it out there.
