just a friendly reminder to everyone that your post is MUCH MORE PROMINENT when you use the title at the top of the post.
suggested formatting -
either WANTED or TRADE or OFFERING
(wanted meaning you want something with nothing in return to exchange; trade meaning you have something in return for what you want; offering meaning you're willing to give up something without getting anything in return)
then add the date next so readers can quickly decipher if they have a match for you (you want or can trade or are offering)
the restaurant (you want or can trade or are offering)
then the meal you want (B, L, D, or any meal acceptable)
include the # of people you need ressies for
put ALL this info in the header! (Then repeat it and add any additional pertinent info in the body of your post.)
A Few Fictional Title Examples only -
Wanted - 01/01/1982 - LeCellier - B - 4 ppl
Trade - 07/04/1776 - Akershus - D - 3 ppl (probably not enough room to put both what you're exchanging from and to so what you WANT in exchange can be in the body of the message)
Offering - 12/25/1967 - CM - D - 5 ppl
do you have to do this - of course not.
But, it will help readers quickly recognize whether your post is important to them.
just an idea....
