John, first of all: Keep swapping and keep tying.....
I was in appr. 30 swaps in the last 2 years. Probably 50% of them from VFS. Here are my experiences and thoughts: -- I NEVER lost flies in a swap. I know that other have different experience. -- ALL SWAPS are delayed. I am currently in a swap from VFS which is delayed for 2 months. But there is still hope. -- Not all people read their e-mails daily, so give the swapmaster a bit time to answer. -- Now the bad point. VFS is shooting down their swap pages. They have to change the hosting service, that leads to a redesign (and new programming) of the swap pages, money they cannot effort. Therefore the link to the site is down. I checked the site, try this link: http://www.flyshop.com/scripts/Flyswap/joinswap.cfm?identification=1096 It should link you to the old page where you'll find the emails of the other participants. With seperate email I send you the contend of the site. Hope this helps. BTW: This story shows how important it is that the swapmeisters keep a line to their participants. Greetings Rene/Germany Standard disclaimer: I have no affiliation with VFS, only a satisfied user in the past. -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: Dienstag, 11.
