Well, Jon, do you know what would be an even better service for the C&V community? Host an "exchange" database, to replace the horribly inefficient ISO/WTT thread here. In my imagination of it, people could list stuff they'd like to trade (or even sell, but that's an issue for consideration), and also make entries for stuff they're ISO. Entries in the database would "age out" after a month, but could be "renewed" by a determined lister. As it is, with the thread here, everything "ages out" almost immediately, for all practical purposes.
I've thought about implementing this as a Google spreadsheet, based on my own Excel thingie described above, but that's not really a perfect solution, tho' it would be better than what we all have now. A database would be cooler, but I'm not a db wonk, so I really don't know how to set that up.
