I think some sort of central "clearing house" might help...we all
have projects involving machines that need one component or another.
Many of us will ask our local friends, then post to lists like this
one, etc., and often the results are good...but sometimes not.
I'm just thinking aloud here; this is a half-baked idea...maybe some
sort of web server with long-term lists of stuff we all have available
on the trading block, and maybe wish lists as well. Something to
facilitate better communications amongst folks like us that don't
necessarily know each other. Any thoughts?

Actually this is a very good idea. It eliminates the necessity for each
of us to make our own web areas just to list what we have for sale or trade,
plus it brings all the information together into one URL. It does me
little good if i recall 2 years from now that someone listed some stuff
on some site that I now need, if i can no longer FIND the obscure site
anymore...
