I just want something that will keep these boxes moving and not to all the same people, We've got people on the lists that have never received a box yet... (...)

But in this case, what it resulted in was the following: Person A discovered this thing. Person A (...) (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.jambalaya, lugnet.general)
