There always seems to be someone who doesn't make it. Sometimes with good reasons, sometimes not. I am one of those willing to cut some slack on the dates, but I am going to become more strict from here on out. Last swap I had only 1 late (the best performance I've had for a while), 2 with no toe tags, and 2 without return postage. The instructions aren't that complicated, and I'm going to be returning more flies to senders in the future. In all fairness, I will be very specific in the future in the signups as well in regards to following instructions. It might scare away some swappers, but hopefully it will make things a bit more reliable and fair for the majority of tyers who are prompt with their submissions.
