I like the idea so long as there is some mechanism which makes sure that
those who don't sit glued to their computer all day will get a decent
chance to receive a box, and even better, something that makes sure
there is a good flow (i.e. if you're responsible and reasonably active,
you will get a box about as often as someone who is glued to their
computer and is able to respon first most of the time).
Basically, what I want to see is a system which makes sure that the
boxes visit people in a well distributed manner. The problems with the
system right now is that the way the lists were created, there are too
many parallel distribution paths, and that boxes get stuck.
The above isn't coming out very clearly, but I hope the general gist of
my feeling is apparent.
