    communication!! if, for whatever reason, you cannot fulfill your responsibilities, let the meister and swappers know, please.

    life happens to everyone, and sometimes you cant fulfill your commitment. but if you communicate this to all participants, it usually isnt a problem.

    <------GUILTY!! Being new at the swaps, you learn quickly, but tend to aggrevate a few along the way. But all works out in the end.

    Bill,
    Late getting into swaps? You may wish to host one yourself? Really, not a smart-alek answer here.

    Jeremy is right . . I was waiting for a smallmouth swap so I decided to host it myself. The first one I ever hosted. WEnt ok, flies are going out tomorrow.

    To be entirely honest, I quit hosting swaps here at FAOL because there were just too many swappers that felt the rules of the swap didn't apply to them, or seemed to feel that they had no obligation to get the flies in on time.

    Billknepp, you got mail buddy.
