Roger I think we are trying to complicate things. I have received and forwarded two boxes so far. The order of the list has not changed so I automatically know who I must forward any future boxes to. Except for the fact that the boxes seemed to have run aground I don't see the need for a web page. It is only the diligence of the swap members that will keep the swap going. I believe there is a white box floating around somewhere. Has it been located?
