I don't want teams named publicly. It's not going to do any good and it's only going to cause more tension in the league. It's already tough enough with 1/2 the GMs in the league not liking one another at all. Teams should respond to trade offers to an extent. If someone sends you a trade offer and you're not interested, you should politely say no thanks. The GMs who I've spoken to who don't respond to all trade offers tell me it's because they will get bombarded over and over again for the same players even after they've said no thanks. That to me is a decent enough reason to not always respond. even then - i don't think not responding is a good idea. it leaves questions that arent answered and just leads to more inquiries. just because i say no to player X and player Y for yandle trade - doesn't mean I would say no to player X and player Z for yandle trade. it's a completely different offer. GM's should respond to all e-mails. it's really not that hard to say "no thanks"

Mainly what I am talking about is getting an initial response. Some teams wont even respond to inquiries. Such as, is "player a and player b available". Not even a trade offer.

Caps well I totally agree with your comments and understand were you are coming from. I think there is another issue closely linked which is that a lot of GM's prefer to do their dealings through instant messaging. Maybe you are trying to contact a GM who prefers that method of communication, as writing continuous e-mails can get boring and tiresome at times.
I am not for one minute saying that you should start to try and do deals through MSN, AIM or Yahoo I'm just pointing out that similarly other people could complain that e-mail is the only method to contact you.
I'm not complaining because to be honest I'm happy to response via any method but that might not be the case for others!

If teams still aren't responding, please PM or email me a list. I'd like to try and weed out the inactive GMs, but since I've been so busy lately, I haven't really made an effort to make trade inquiries and see who responds.

i've only had the same person ask me about datsyuk about four times...he doesn't get the hint.
other than that, if i'm trading someone, y'all will know, but i don't make many moves outside of near the trade deadline, but i have responded to most, if not all inquiries.

ummm i wasn't even talking about you lol
but in response, i never said i'll think about it and get back to you, my responses to your trade proposals was, and i quote:
"I think I'll pass for now, sorry" "Sorry no thanks"
I have always responded to your proposals, and I have the email proof to back it up, so don't try and start shit that you can't back up.

ummm i wasn't even talking about you lol oh no? then who were you talking about? you told me on MSN you'd think about it and get back to me and never did. if you deny that, then you're just lying. just for the record - i didnt mention you as a guy who doesnt respond. but if you want to call me out with a little subtle jab, well, i can play that game too. if you were actually talking about someone else, then i apologize.
