I hope and think that Dave will be adding tools for searching and filtering the OFFER lists over the next few weeks, months or whatever.

It's like the Librarian's Dilemma: sure there is lots of information "there" ... but finding what you want is hard.
"Overwhelming" is the only word I know for a big swap, or a small 20-person swap, each with big lists!
It's heresy for a Piggy to admit this, but I bet that many people were deterred from joining Ella's Hog Wild Swap when they saw dozens of Offer lists, each many pages long!
Heresy #2:
I am SUPER glad that we won't have to wade through multiple threads, each with hundreds of posts, to make and respond to requests! That almost deterred me, but I relied on C-mail as much as I could, then scanned the HUGE threads when I could.
