I think this site was discussed before on the list. The audience
splitter page is rather confusing - who the subject of the "have" and
the "want" is isn't clear. Perhaps it should be "Hay for sale" and "Hay
wanted." Also, I don't know about you but I spent a while looking for
the link back to home - it's below the listings along with "place an ad"
- so it moves up and down the screen.

This isn't really a dual-audience site though is it, since you could in
theory be a buyer or a seller at any given time? Perhaps if we were
talking about farmers and hay-fever sufferers going to HayNet to find
out about hay then it might be...
