The pbem trading system sucks. Besides that you can't 'spy' for free, by looking what techs they've got to offer, it's also way too slow.

In this game, I've traded with Killer for chemistry. Now, the research I'd invested in that for 1 turn is wasted. 1 turn is wasted by proposing it the deal to Killer, 1 turn is wasted for him to reply, and now I hope that he doesn't forget to 'accept' this turn... I could have researched chemistry in 5 turns, so I'd have gotten it 1 turn later than now.

This sucks.

Maybe Killer is stalling on purpose. He's smart enough for that...
