A couple of suggstions to help things along.
1. I can post a web page to keep track of where it is at.. based on the person recevin the box dropping an email to the list.
2. If you have a box.. email the next person on the list to confirm the address before sending it on... this lets them know it is coming AND means you will have an up to date address,
regards Ian

Personally, I don't understand the point in just putting a stop to it. Sooner or later the boxes will move or they won't move, but that's what I expected coming into the swap. Unfortunately a number of problems have come up and several people have been helpful in trying to resolve them, but the perp swap seems to be too big for any human to oversee. I'd like to see the swap continue indefinitely as was originally intended, but perhaps watching it closely and managing it would be best neglected in favor of just letting the boxes travel and the perpetuation of the swap go on with the assumption that the person who receives the box will do the right thing and take personal responsibility for moving it along at least to *somebody*?

I hate to say this, but it looks like the Perp swap has gone to H*** in a handbasket. If everyone has received at least one box, then maybe it's time to halt this swap for good.
Roger Cotner has done an admirable job of holding this thing together and I have helped by keeping a complete copy of the lists and have shared them with those of you who had misplaced your list, so you'd know "who", "what", "how" and "where".
So far, I've only received the Central US box, (white), and nothing else. I'm happy with what I've received, but tired of the endless waiting and not knowing where the other boxes are. Seems to me like the longer the swap continues, the more confusing it has become. It's kind of like going to a WalMart store and being blind. You know the stuff is there somewhere, but you just don't know where.
These are my sentiments only. I do not speak for other Perps. Just my 2 cents worth.
