If this is a problem, than anyone wants to sell/trade items just state this in the header, and anyone who doesn't want to read it can delete the message in 2 seconds. I personally have bought and traded many things from these sorts of messages and they are welcome for many of us on these lists. Also, I don't see how the Resonance list is a problem.. people who don't want to read it can just delete it as soon as they see the subject header. I've also bought/traded items with people from other countries from these messages so I'm not sure how the fact that someone is in a different country than the seller makes the message *totally* irrelevant...especially in terms of trading when no money has to exchange hands.
