I agree. But "rant" doesn't really go with "praise" - how about
"whine" instead? That might also keep people from taking themselves
too seriously when posting there, if they're "whining" instead of
"ranting".

In another thread, the term "barter" was proposed for this; I like
that better than "swap".

I'm concerned about using "ltc" because someone who is new to Lugnet
might not recognize the acronym. How about "train-club"?
