Seems to me that a bunch of you are ready to "kill" the swapmeister. I remember other swaps where contact was lost with the swapmeister, and all but one of these turned out to be a legitimate problem. All you old timers know exactly who I'm talking about. He's no longer on the list and hasn't been for several years. Three weeks? If you remember, we lost track of Denis Goulding once during one of his swaps, only to find out that he had been in the hospital. Stuff happens. People have heart attacks, computer crashes, and serious illnesses and other opportunities which preclude their getting on their computer on occasion. I dare say if I was incapacitated while meistering a swap, Jody would have a hard time chasing down my swap and all it's particulars, especially if I was flat of my back.
Have a heart and be patient.
My 2 cents worth.

I think that we need to choose a new swapmeister..I believe that since Ed has done it before ( I believe I am correct in this) that I vote that if there is no answer from David, that we re-route our flies to Ed (kindly post address if this is approved by all) and carry on with the swap. I am looking forward to the flies, but am sorry about the poor actions of the current swapmeister. Let me know what you decide. A mutiny would be my suggestion as we have not been able, in the past three weeks, to even raise a reply from David. I did find a single David Colyn on the internet with an Arizona address, but he has not replied to any personal emails so I don't know if this is the man or not. Joyce
