Why are people still so foolish that they mention PR in their trade request titles?

|badidea| I'm glad I read this thread...I didn't realize that it was a faux pas to list your PR. I just did it on another board I'm, of course, still a newb but when I have sought link exchanges, PR always seems to be a big issue. I thought that cutting to the chase could save some time. Every link exchange page or board I have seen seems to list PR. I know that preferably you want your incoming and outgoing links to have an equivalent or better PR and of course you would like to have a related niche. I must be missing something here...
