Bill, I'm one of the "clicky People" who jumped in a other swap while ignoring your and other's swaps. Never thought that I have to justify my participating and not participating in certain swaps.
I was now in approximate 40 swaps and decided to calm down with swaps. I'll intend to be only in a selected number of them. But how to select the swaps: -- A new theme for me -- a good theme. -- The timeframe -- The number of participants -- is there any history behind the swap/anual schedule -- probably a preference to the swapmaster -- somebody talks me into the swap. Hi Jummy! I selected the extended body mayflay swap due to: New theme, I do not have a swap with this theme in my storage. Hope to get new ideas and be able to compare my results with other ties. The swap is reasonable small so I can manage it. Iain is a well known swapmaster for me and I'm in his X-mas swap, can send my flies in one package. We have some contact outside VFB. And for the other swaps I refused: No theme, too much flies, have already 3 boxes of streamer, no Chilli recipes and ...... BTW: You did run a Mayfly swap in the past year. Could'nt sign in, was a pitty. Next time. Nothing is intended to be offensive, only want to be honest.
