No, I am not in this swap. However, I have read a few threads and many posts on this site about the reasons why swaps are in decline. One reason typically cited is exemplified with sjo's own words which he posted and I quoted. You write, "Where did you ever get the idea that it was cool to rag someone on a new thread for something that happened in another swap, and is no one's business except between you and sjo?" I did not rag on him. I quoted him. As for you being the "administrator for this swap", I didn't know swaps had administrators.
Hey, if the people who come to this site want to have swaps, great. I'd like to see more of them. Depending on the theme(s) I would consider participating. And believe me, if I sign on, I will honor my commitment. I hope there are a lot of other people who also want to see more swaps and I really hope that when anyone signs on for a swap he or she can anticipate the other people who sign on will be just as sincere and responsible as he or she will be.
Oh, and by the way, I've entered into a few dozen swaps, as a participant and swapmeister, on this site for over 10 years and I've never been late or bowed out of any.
