Chris, I think I have the digested all the suggestions about disseminating info and photos of the good stuff I have to donate.
In the future, I will send ONE email to [email protected] and include a link to imgur.com for the photos. Sorry if I upset the usual/regular/standard/preferred way of doing things at SH. There was no intention on my part to get everybody's underwear twisted and bunched up over some free stuff. As with most things in life, there is much to be learned about the mysterious ways at SH.
