the whole Idea its to trade random uncommon stuff. I dont think its possible to trade without having anything to trade.
right I totally understand.. that's why I am asking how far down on the list I would be and roughly how long it will take... my tank should have corals in a month, maybe a little more.

I am curious if tossing an extra thermos would be something to do >? I do not mind purchasing one and starting a second one. I mean the only thing that can happen is that we send more and get more right ?? I think since the last one went MIA maybe their should be some sort of other people here who will vouche for your purchases and what not. For instance I bought around 1k in stuff thru swf.com and the threads so I have people who will verify. I think that might help in the long run.

well, I would say, ask the person who would be recieving it. if they dont mind getting just a single polyp I dont see the problem. the rules arent etched in stone, they are basically guidelines. just so every one starts on the same page so to speak.

your about7 down on the waiting list, thats at least a month and a half away if everything goes smoothly. I'll reserve your slot (so to speak) and check in with you a week or two beforehand to make sure you have something uncommon to trade at that point if your not ready yet there is always next time.

Is this not a decent idea as it went unrrersponded 2. I am refering to tossing in a second thermos.

any one is welcome to set up and manage a second thermos trade. I am only handeling one, I have many other things on my plate too, so one thermos is my limit.
the idea about having, people vouch for traders... its like a big I dont trust you.... I am willing to go on the chance that people will participate fairly. if some one is new or hasnt sold bought traded here etc. that would exclude them. the rules for my thermos trade will stand as they are.
if anyone is unwilling to go on that measure of trust they are welcome to do their own trade with whatever rules they want, I dont have a copyright on blind trading.
I think it would be great if there was others doing this same thing. I just cant manage more than one thermos.

I was just trying to make is where people did not get hosed as previous is all and as for another one I was just offering to help out sending one out to someone to get it going again. Just trying to help was not meant to be anyother way.

I understand that. no worries.
scopus is going to get it rolling again and I am going to pick up another thermos and send it to the person in line so they can send it out. sucks to start with a new thermos, but thats life.

the only person you need to listen to about placement or turns is me. that will prevent confusion. the lists will be posted when it is needed. its fairly easy to look back through the last couple pages and see who wanted in to figure out your appropriate slot though.

everyone needs to be patient. this does not need to turn into a goat rope.

goat rope is the same as too many chiefs not enough indians, too many chef's spoil the soup, etc.
its basicly saying there is only one person to turn to for final descisions, others are welcome to offer opinions and insight, but the final descisions lie on one person that way there arent 15 people deciding different things on the same subject. a goat rope is the result of everything getting changed up, different descisions being made by everyone etc. general mass confusion being the result. if the descisions are made by only one person at least everyone is on the same page even if its not the perfect descision.
