  I would like to have the "My Remarks" field and which "Wanted List" the parts
appear on to be included on Wanted Notifications that I receive.

I often use the "My Remarks" field to store an "average" price I want to pay
or other useful information. I understand there is a "Max Price field" but sometimes
it's not a hard limit for me but a guideline on price. Also some parts are "could
use more's" and some are on Wanted Lists for particular projects. Knowing which
list they are on would help me decide how fast to check out a store.


In general, I think that the wanted list notifications should be thought of as
messages that the buyer is requesting from BrickLink, not messages that the seller
is sending to potentially interested parties.

By that I mean that I find it strange that sellers can customize what their notices
say. After all, it isn't really a notice that the store is sending (in my mind)
it is a message being requested by the buyer. So, the BUYER should be the one
to customize what THEY'RE wanted notices say.


Which is just a long way of saying "I vote yes"

Thanks for the yes. Your understanding is pretty much what I meant.

This is what I have been thinking for a long time. A vote a big YES!

Which is just a way of showing that that I changed this sentence part-way through
writing it, and now we're going to see another grammar thread.
