Allow us to keep a list of keywords on the client side which the GW client would use to filter chat from the trade channel.

For example, I want to buy a fellblade and a panda. I want to sell my collection of soulreapers. I also want to buy and sell ectos.
I create a list
1) fellblade
2) panda
3) soulreaper
4) ecto

Now my trade channel only displays messages containing one or more of those keywords.

This prevents messages about items I am interested from being forced off the screen faster then the eye can see. I no longer have to wade through hundreds or thousands of postings that I have no interest in. I can leave trade chat on knowing that if I see red text that someone is trading in something I want to buy or sell. Downsides? Can't really think of anything. Because the list and filtering is done on the client side it requires no additional resources for ANet other then the initial programming to make such a feature work. I may miss trade messages that I'm interested in but don't match my list but I would have missed them anyway from either having trade turned off or from the message just being plain unreadable due to the volume of trade messages.
