Default GFS2007 - Late swappers

Well, the swap deadline has come and gone, and of course, there are
always those few who procrastinate too long and can't finish in
time. I'm temptED to post the names of the scofflaws here for the
sake of embarrassment, but being the spiritual and forgiving person I
am, I know the gospel of JOHN Would preach against such
vindictiveness; noT ON Your Worst day would you want that. With this
sort of cooperation, you might think this might be the laST EVEr time
I'd do this; but no. Sure, you could buy lousy flies at whatever
walMART You visit, but for real quality, you can't beat the
craftsmanship of the swappers. Yeah, I could name names; buT IM Just
going to let it pass.

YOS,
Joe F.

Like I said before, and I say it with the utmost respect, bite me. ;-)
....and just how long did it take you to put that message together?

The package was sent USPS Express yesterday and should be in your mailbox
today. Had I been given a *REAL* address instead of the PO Box where you
have all your porn sent, I could have made the deadline via UPS.

NOTE TO ALL DDFS SWAPPERS: See the crap you would be dealing with now had
Joe not disappeared from the scene several years ago? I'm always nice enough
to email/post a message proclaiming "It'll take me a few days to sort
everything and get it back in the mail to you" instead of *DING DING DING*
LOOK WHO'S A DEADBEAT messages.

Also, FWIW, some of the swappers you mention are not regular ROFF readers,
but are good about replying to email. If you haven't done so yet, I'd
suggest an email to get the status.

Did I mention "bite me"? ;-)

TL,
Tim
who KNOWS there aren't enough smileys in the world for this post, and is
genuinely sorry for the delay and appreciative of YOS's efforts and
patience. It's a long, mildly sad story and I won't bore you with details.

'bout ten minutes. The tough part was finding a way to use john
without a bathroom or prositution reference. He's gotta hate that
****. :-)

Uh...yeah, I believe you did.

You don't really need them; I maintain my sunny disposition by
assuming all posts have smileys. :-)

YOS,

John lives on the other side of the Atlantic and has never had those
euphemism's uttered in his presence.
Package in post for 6 days so should be with you soon.

For ten minutes work it made my day. Once for either John reference in a
life time would work , twice on the other hand might begin to drag.

Regards John.
