The boxtrot is okay, but somtimes I have trouble figuring out the beat;-)  All
seriousness aside, I like mix-O-rama, but capitalizing the "O":-)

So I vote for mixorama. or boxtrot, what I just said notwithstanding.

Can this project have a newsgroup?

Sure, I don't see why not -- if there's enthusiasm toward it and if a
sensible name could be picked.  It certainly belongs in the .market.*
hierarchy as it's purely an aftermarket person(s)-to-person(s) trading
thing.

I'll toss out a few random ideas off the top of my head...

  .market.boxmixer
  .market.boxtrot
lol

  .market.mailathon
  .market.mailmix
  .market.mailorama
  .market.mailswap
  .market.mailtrade
  .market.mixorama
.market.mix-o-rama
        (variation, just because I like the hyphenated look with orama :)

  .market.swaporama
  .market.travelmix

...any of those getting close?  Other possibilities?

.market.trailmix (sounds copyrighted though..)
.market.taplap (take a piece leave a piece)
.market.piecemail
.market.bricksalad

I wonder if anything like this has ever been done before for other hobbies.
I can't help thinking that this sort of thing must already have a name.

Maybe so. It almost sounds like something done with CrackerJacks' prizes.
