How about the person who starts the vine waits till there is a list of people who want it. ( say waiting 4 or 5 days before starting it) Then the vine starter cuts and pastes the list to make it geographically sensible.
Once it's in motion other people can add their names and OK it may eventually do some pond hoping. But at least it starts out efficiently.

I think at this point all we can do is learn how to things differently in the future. As a possible model for future vines of this sort: When I receive the vine, I could burn two (2) sets, and then send one to the next EU\UK recipient and one to the next US recipient. And we just send them in the order listed disregarding those not in the country the vine is traveling in. i.e. those in the US disregard all EU\UK recipients, and those in the latter afore mentioned disregard all US recipients. MR. SKULL Well... I'm not one to complicate things and, tho I can see some of the efficiencies mentioned in this thread regarding vines crossing the pond, I think having two branches for every vine will end up complicating the system. My opinion is that a single vine is easier to track, and easier to search. I guess I'd rather see single vines where an occasional shuffling of names occurs (with the agreement of the participants, of course). As this vine is already enroute to Europe, it does make a bit of sense to have it make the rounds a bit there. The vinage as posted lately is: Chris US << Bart << mr. skull << Richard-UK << Milhouse-US << white rabbitt-US << Nick Ullmann-UK << Scott Burnett - US << Joseph-US [EMAIL PROTECTED] << Guy-US [EMAIL PROTECTED] << With the vine on it's way to Bart, and if all are amenable, it could be amended to: This is merely a suggestion; it's really something the vine participants need to decide for themselves...

Well Bart,it's in the mail to you as we speak so....I don't know what to do right now. Mr SOFA, could you help us out here? Chris
