Tom, I respect what you say, and don't wish to argue, but I have another data point. The very first box came to me on a Saturday, and I was able to review the contents, soul search on replacements, make the log, enclose a floppy disk, post it to the (...)

Hi All, After several months of hiatus from the LEGO world I'm making my return... and what do I find? This nifty sounding Jambalaya thing! Unfortunately it seems there's a lot of stuff going on, but I'm not exactly catching how the whole thing (...) (25 years ago, 26-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

I simply do NOT have the time to individually log every single part taken out or put in, not with my schedule. Not if the person 15th on the list wants to see the box before 2002. Some of these boxes are already dragging along VERY slowly, enforcing (...) (25 years ago, 25-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

(...) The uber-rule is something like "trade with the box trying to improve the value of the assortment." In addition to this (according to how I was thinking of it), you would have to follow the variable rules as well. If the rules are: Trade only (...)

(...) No, I mean that when you receive the box, you pick one rule from the "active list", and conduct a trade based on that rule. Then you cross out that rule, and add a new rule to the end of the list. So if you picked a rule "take slopes, and (...) (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya)

I really think this box will die a horrible, quick death.

My thinking is that the person with the box only has to follow the one rule they choose. At that point in the receive-trade-send cycle, they are just dealing with the (potential) mess other people have left. So the current box-holder shouldn't have (...)
