2010-04-06 Thread Don Ordes
So far, I have 20 swappers, and I've decided from replies not to make it a 'competitive' swap, and to do just one swap for all. If I missed your name, please let me know. I'll top off the list at 25, and then start a waiting list. If you need ideas (didn't get the DVD), go to my rope-dub
