Well, since I don't have any access to the newsgroup (or any newsgroup,
chat room, IRC, etc.) in question, I might as well start it here.
It's quite simple;
        Trade, then Raid.
Buy all the things you need, then take all the things you want.
Anyway, many of the real world(?) trade alliances have be build on good
relations & bad blood.
good gaming to you all.

I'm not sure I understand the question. But it seems to me that
trade can only occur when clans are at the early stages of development.
Once you have all the basic skills it is much cheaper and safer to
produce all your own equipment. You also can't afford to be held up at
gun point because your neighbour has vital resource you don't (like an
iron mine) so if this occurs you have to go war. Trade hasn't been a
real consideration for years.
