What is the limit for the number of people in a group? I would suggest 4 or 5 the most depending on how many participate in this.

My only reservation is exchanging addresses with folks I don't know. Not too sure if I like that idea. And no, I don't have a PO Box. However, if I know you from this website or another website, then that's cool, if not, that can be somewhat of a problem for me.

It may also cause a problem with folks who have had stalkers in the past and may go by different screen names, who may want to consider this cd exchange program. Not to sound paranoid, but I'm covering all ground and want to be sure there are no repercussions for anyone who may have experienced shit like this now, prior or possible future encounters.

Any suggestions Dusa?

You could use this like we do in the craft thread. One person has the addies and the individuals send their cds to the hub, with a few bucks for shipping, and then the one person has the addies and sends the cds to their proper homes. It would make more work for the one person, but it does cut down on who has your home info.

Sort of like a "designated mailer"...hmmm....

I'm still interested, though I see there hasn't been much going on on the thread lately. I'm not on the site every day, but don't want to miss out! I'll subscribe and check back.

Hey Scorp,

I get your concern

Ive been in 3 other swaps and have never had any issues. I did sit one swap out because there was one person participating who I did not want to have any of my info and rather than ask to be in a different swap, I just sat it out.

Id be glad to receive CDs on your behalf and send them out to you if that would make you feel more comfortble

Besides, if I put you in the same swapgroup as myself, the people making CDs can save on the cost of shipping by sending 2 CDs to the same address versus a separate shipping charge.

Lemme know!

I'l start compiling the list of folks and post back in a bit!

Heya Dusa,

Sounds good. Go ahead and count me...

Just trying to be proactive and make sure not only for me, but for anyone else who may have had concerns.

Rubbing hands together...I have some cool stuff I can compile...

Reading Scorp's concerns made me think about a book swap I was part of on bee eff. Anyhow, when we exchanged books, we had names and address, but had no idea who they were unless we knew their screen names from being personal friends. The person in charge got our book lists and distributed names, addresses and what book(s) to ship that person. No one ever complained about privacy doing it that way. Perhaps the CDX could work the same way..........Wolfy who is not going to be part of it because I'm a computer idiot when it comes to stuff like making CD's I have to mix.

Just FYI - I can't recall how many of these I did over yonder but there was only one instance when someone contacted me and asked not to be in a particular person's swap set.

And in all of the other venues I've been involved in this it's never been an issue.

Hope that helps.
