Incorporating all the responses thus far: 1) It's ultimately up to whoever
has the box to decide who gets it next. 2) Tracking box requests with
(hopefully linear) follow-up posts to this group is a good way to get
started quickly but 3) We'll eventually want a more formal list like Mookie's
offering to do to make skipping around on the lists easier.
Why do we need to skip around the lists? Two reasons that have already been
mentioned before - trying to keep the box from going straight from one
person to another who has similar collecting interests and to jump over
people who can't take the box right then, but should be kept near the top
of the list.

I like these, especially the color-specific ones. I bought a gallon bag
of nothing but white pieces at a used shop one time and it was a blast
digging through it, especially since I was needing lots of weird white
pieces for a MOC. Larry, if there's enough white to segregate (even if
it's not enough for a full-fledged box) send it to me and I'll beef it
up. If not but there's interest in a White box I can send a starter on
to someone else, though it might be a little skimpy to start with, too.

I've finally reached the point where I can actually throw away pieces
that are so badly chewed or otherwise mangled to the point that they won't
attach to other pieces. Still feel kind of guilty though, like instead I
should build a Lego junkyard to keep them in. Some broken pieces are
useful even if they can't be fixed, though it would have to be a pretty
unusual piece for me to take a broken one from a trade box. No real opinion
on what to do with these pieces, I'm just blathering at this point. :-)
