Seriously, why do people feel that their swap request is so much more important than everyone else's that they need to create a new thread when there is already a thread dedicated solely to swap requests?? Sure, your request might not stand out as much when it is in a common thread, but when everyone decides to create their own thread it turns the forum itself into a cluster.

Sorry for the rant, but do you really need to post in the swap thread and create a new thread also?
