I guess it's me and I'll probably get some 'grief' about this but so be it. This swap was announced 5/21 and the expectation was expressed that it would be completed about 7/15. Now let me say off the bat that I could care less about the flies. I don't need any flies. This particular style was new to me. I've never used any like these and I was just curious to see what they looked like and how I would tie them. Having said that, a swap is a swap and I have only 3 expectations.
- I expect people to tie decent flies. They don't have to be 'perfection' or even 'professional'. Just their own good attempt.
- Completion of the swap on time. If 'life' gets in the way, then the swapper will contact the swapmeister, everyone will be advised and an adjustment may be made.
- Communication.
If I'm off-base in my expectations, send me a piece of spaghetti. I'll cook it and give myself a few lashes.

JMHO
