It's mostly Ontario guys that are in this round and I believe a few will be handing off in person. If anyone else joins later it could jump around even more. This should be a nice quick round if everyone keeps it moving...
Neil- It will be a nice and full box when you get it. I have a lot ready to add. A little bit for every taste is the plan...
It's pretty fun to see what each guy has added, and where tastes of different pipers gravitate.
There were a fair few Lat forward blends in the box I received from Smokeybear, so I tried to season the box with Virginias, VaPers and their ilk, with one Latakia forward blend and one unknown aro for kicks. It will be interesting to see what's in the box when it gets back to me.

Why is there a need to publish people's names and home addresses on the interweb?
Couldn't you keep the box pass going by pm?
If not, count me out.

Hey Yaddy. I totally understand your concern, and desire to be excluded if your wishes with respect to privacy can't be met.
The intention here is for group transparency, and for visibility as to who the box is with, and where it is going. Hence the need to post here when it arrives, post pictures (if at all possible) or commentary of what you're taking, and to post a tracking number here when it is shipped. I'd like to see that google doc behind a password if at all possible (shared by folks on the box-pass via PM), but am not overly concerned if we can't make that work.
To be honest, the last version of this box-pass worked in exactly the same way, with an online address list of all passers/passees managed and updated by the BP coordinator (then schmitzbitz) who is now Ghost.

This is my first crack at using Google docs, and I only used it to maintain the format of the previous pass. There is a way to privatize access to just the participants in the pass by email. (I just looked it up...) So, if you will indulge me I'll take it for a test run right now and see how it works...
Okay, after testing, here are the options as I understand it...
1. Leave the list as is, and how it was for the last box pass- public.
2. Participants receive an email copy of the list to their personal email accounts through my Google email account. I just tested this, and the list shows up in the body of the email.
3. If participants have a Google account, they can view the list as before. Just send a request to view through the link above and I'll add you.
I'll leave it password protected until we figure out the best route...
Thoughts?

Either is fine with me, unless Revenue Canada is viewing this.... In that case....all these samples are merely that, I dint try one and the shipping receipt in next years expenses is a proper one. :lol:
You guys wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts!! 8O
Took some, and added 6 samples (including the one above- the rest is a surprise), one unopened tin, and one accessory. Going to try and get this shipped out tomorrow, and will post the tracking number once I do. Heads up Calgary!
