Second Annual TradGang Knife Swap!! - Emails are all out!!!

[Ray Hammond]

OK...so now what?????????????

[dorris]

we keep waiting with suspense better than a scary book  

[Jeremy]

OK, I've checked the list of who gets what - twice - which means I've almost certainly missed someone  :D

I'll start sending out emails in a few minutes and will post again when I finish everything up  

[dorris]

no hurry Jeremy no pressure were very very very patient . by the way we all know your doing a great job brother .  

[ishiwannabe]

I got my email...  :D

[owlbait]

Me too! Are we supposed to tell?

[Jeremy]

You can if'n you want, or you can let them be surprised for a little bit.  Everyone will find out after the fact anyway, but the suspense is nice  

The first third of the list is done, with emails sent to either the address I was given or the address TradGang has on file.

I'm tired, going cross-eyed and from the sound that just came over the baby monitor I'll be needing to check on a diaper in a few minutes (it's amazing how something that small can make a sound - and smell - THAT big!)

Please be patient just a little longer; I'll get the rest of the emails out tomorrow evening.

There are 78 knives in the swap this year!!

No, don't tell.  Suspense rules.

[Ray Hammond]

amen to that, Mystik....well done, Jeremy. Above and beyond for sure.

[SKYLER W]

SAME HERE Jeremy....Great Job....Sky and Don

[Hooked]

Are we actually swapping with the person you emailed us or are we sending them a knife and getting one from someone else?

Sorry for the stupid question...guess I could go back to page one and see what it says.

[Jeremy]

Hooked,

The list is completely randomized.  I cheated this year... I gave everyone a number(s) based on how many knives they put up this year (ie 1-78) then used a random number generator to randomize the same set of numbers.  Put the two sequences side-by-side and you get who to send each of your knives to.  As people emailed me all their info went into an Excel sheet.  All I needed to do to contact most people was click on the email addy in the sheet and paste the mailing addresses.  I have had to hunt down a few emails and addresses, but most of those were from guys who were in last year's swap... I still have the Excel sheet from that.  

After everything is finished up here I'll post the entire list, but like elk ninja said, suspense rules  

[ber643]

You are just toooooooo organized, Jeremy - nice job!

Got my e-mail too (had to go and rescue it from the automatic "Junk Mail" pile - LOL) Durn thing lets stuff through I don't want, and kicks stuff out that I'm waiting for. Thanks again. (Wonder why Jeremy "looks" like Junk Mail???    )

[skullworks]

Haven't got my recipients yet. Hope I didn't trash the email! Great job Jeremy!

[dorris]

Jeremy just a suggestion but if you just posted the list on here it would save you a bunch of emails .

[ArcticArcher]

Got the email.  Knives are going in the mail today.

[Hooked]

Dorris,
that would kill the suspense!

[dorris]

Hooked I guess your right .

[mullet]

I better check my junk email list. I'm having a lot of trouble lately, I get emails but have trouble sending them. Jeremy, does the email have your name in it?
