This is a mechanism designed to maximize the fairness of the "offer"
system. By putting "FOP" at the end of the Subject line of "Offered"
posts, you are stating that you are willing to wait a period of
time (totally of your choosing, maybe 8-48 hours) before making a
decision on which respondent should be the recipient of the item you've
offered. This gives everyone who would like the item a chance at being
successful, and it takes the emphasis away from being fastest on the
"reply" button.
