Whilst I can understand the feelings of people who are running swaps or entered
into swaps, and have to cope with dropouts who fail to apologize or give reason
for failing to complete their agreed task, Blacklists are an unwelcome and
ineffective way of getting flies in on time.
The last person I heard about in the US who really liked blacklists was Senator
Joseph McCarthy..... It would be more effective to encourage good manners and
announce our dropping out as soon as is known.
The VFB is an unusual group of people, Poor to wealthy, Blue collar to
scientist, mostly without any connection or interest other than fishing flies.
Our commitments as individuals to house and work will of course result in these
individuals dropping off the grid from time to time. We should only wish them
well and hope they can feel welcome to return sometime.
But it would be polite for all of us to say if they are dropping out of the
damn swap.

It seems to me that we need to establish a blacklist of those persons who sign
up for a swap and then fail to communicate with the swap master or other swap
participants. It is ok if a person has to drop out for valid reasons, or even
if they have taken too much on and can't continue AS LONG AS THEY COMMUNICATE.
Those that do not communicate should be balcklisted and stuck off IMHO. BY
taking a position in the swap, it is quite possible that they have prevented
someone else from participating.
