When you do, here's another thought... when looking at my OWN plant list, let me just click a button and have the system find members who want plants on my list (mind you, I don't have my plants listed as available for trade, which means no one would think to come to me and say "can I have what you've got?")

I don't know how hard an auto-match like that would be, but from a user standpoint, it would be fantastically easy and keep me/us from having to scroll through the list of wants that someone else has. And when you consider some folks have hundreds of plants on their lists, auto-matching would be a wonderful thing.

Again, you might already have something like that in place and I just don't know it because I'm not using the "trade" feature of the list at this point. What brings it to mind is that yesterday I was collecting seed pods from my texas star hibiscus, and while I have no problem spreading this beauty around my own yard, it would be nice to share if there was an easy way to do that, without having to look up each plant in the database and then click on the "x members have this plant" link (which wouldn't tell me who *wants* it anyway, just who has it)

I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week.
