Another possibility

Perhaps it would be best to create a Yahoo group -- an email list so people can all post messages to each other? And I wonder if there is some way so that group posts are also shown here? Or vice-versa? I'm afraid I'm not very blog-savvy. I suppose a way to get the word out, beyond you all who already read this spreading the word, is to put up some fliers, maybe at the gym and coffee shops. As mentioned before, the whole plan won't work too well if there aren't a bunch of people participating. We'll be holding off on any get-togethers until there's a substantial amount of stuff ready to be traded (it's early yet!) and so we've got time to rally some people together.
