This reminds me of a situation back when I was in the airline industry. Two guys missed their flight then insisted it was because we never made a boarding announcement. Finally I said, "Look guys, as we speak, everybody else who was going to Modesto is on the airplane flying there. What does that tell you about whether or not we made a boarding announcement?"

My point is that Buy & Sell works as is for the large majority of users, especially the ones who read the rules and have a basic understanding of how communication through XOC works. That's not too much to ask. Like the newbs who are posting in there all the time asking, "Where can I get _____?" Then they're probably offended when they get no responses. If they'd have read the rules, they'd know why.

Soccerbrace, your frustration is understandable, but it's the buyer you should be annoyed with.

Just my pair of pennies.
