John,
I just realised that replying to you offlist wasn't such a good idea 
since you may not be the only one to wonder.

The story is: you asked for APS-to-CD hardware, and said you hoped you 
were not too off-topic, and if so what was the "barter in return for 
usage thereof".

I then replied to this question by explaining how one pays back for 
off-topic, by giving a tip to thelist.

Now that I'm at home (and looked into my dictionary) it seems like 
"barter" is to be understood as its first meaning, actual exchange for 
one good with another.

I hope this makes my response clearer.

Keep in mind that english is not (like many thelist contributors) my 
native language, so please just don't go "I'm baffled" too often on us 
poor strangers ;-)
