I agree with Mikey that communication is the way to go. Having been in many of his swaps as well as others on this board. I found out that Envelopes do work fine as long as they are taped. Nobody had a set of rules laid out for newbie swappers to use so I learned from experiance.
I also hate when the fly has no tag because I catolog some or all of the flies and tie up more of the patterns I like or want to fish, there is another reason to post or put the recipie on the tag. Although that brings you back to the problem of enough room in the swap box with all those large tags on them.
I think it is the swapmiesters responsibility to tell swappers what they want and how they want it if they are new or have not swapped with them before
Most of the swaps are run very well and I have enjoyed being in all of them and more importantly learned alot along the way.

You can't catch fish with your fly in the air!
