Guys, I think we've all seen how this Train has gotten, shall we say, off track a few times. Somehow, through his magical, mystical powers, Jim managed to get it moving (again).
Also, this looks like a good time to go over the rules for eligibility, as well as add another one:simply in an effort to maximize our chances of the Train staying alive and making it to its various destinations.
See below:
All recipients, both those on the current list, as well as anyone else who wants to jump on the list after it was posted, must PM me with their email address and a contact phone number. I promise not to sign you up for any spam lists, or make cranks calls to your phone at 4:00am. Also, for anyone not on the list who wants to be added, there will be a minimum of 6 months of membership (meaning you must have registered on or before February 2009) and have a minimum of 200 posts.
ALSO NOTE THE NEW RULE: I think we all can agree that an expectation of 2 weeks is plenty of time to check out the contents and get it moving on to the next recipient. That means that you should only keep the box for 2 weeks max, then send it on its way to the next gent on the list.
All of this is done not to be difficult... merely to help us stand as best a chance as possible of ensuring the Train keeps chugging along! One quick note on the post count -- 200 ain't a lot, and this Train has been moving since early 2006... so if you want to participate, but don't quite meet the minimum post count yet... start posting! By the time it's gone through a few names, you could be well on your way to sampling a bunch (and I mean a BUNCH) of colognes!
Just thought I'd re-post this for people like me who wanted to get on the train and didn't look at the top of the thread.
I hear the postman coming... gonna have to hold it just a FEW... MORE minutes...>>
