Smiter...you have displayed very little patience. You got on the list and then decided you were going to be the conductor of the train. This is Chad's train..why don't you worry about the seeds once they get to you. Wrightdaddy had an issue that needed to be taken care of and I didn't see one bit of compassion or empathy from you. It's just seeds dude, Wrightdaddy's straight in my book and I know he would have gotten the seeds out when he was able. He's not some slacker that is hijacking the seed train and taking the "loot" n' runnin'. lol I like it when people play nicely, don't worry your turn is coming. FYI it was roughly 12-13 days....not 17.
I have possession and will have the envelope posted tomorrow.
you can count me in i got some scorps to add.

Please add my station to the list of train stops. Got a few interesting seeds to add to the cargo. Have more Purple Bhuts than I can use this year as well as a few Scorps. I'll try my best to make it a 1 day stop. Thank you,
Hey can a new guy get in on this ?? I'll be waiting at the station for your reply .. Been a time since I took a train ride lol!
I would like in if possible, have lots to add!
Thanks!

new people can feel free to copy and paste the list and add your name at the end... i've only been doing it because i'm a compulsive whack job.

Put me down after Emu! 
I do have a serious concern with the current list arrangement, however. What's up with Round 2 starting before the Train has barely started?
The train is looping-around TWICE to the same people, before it gets out to half the participants! 
Normally, you don't start Round 2 until AFTER the Train is nearing it's final destination for the first go-around. You start a new thread, and find out who's still interested in participating in a second round then.
I think the current proposed list is inappropriate for several reasons -
1) By having the train loop around TWICE to the SAME people before it gets out to everybody else, it unnecessarily delays the train and puts everybody else at a disadvantage (i.e. - perhaps not getting seeds in time for 2012 planting) for the sake of giving extra benefits to a few members.
2) It also LIMITS the # of different varieties that can be added before it comes around to those folks a second time - so in the desire to get the box 2x before the train has made half it's stops, your basically screwing yourself as well!
(For example, Hixs has perhaps one of the most awesome seed collections out there, but with the current arrangement, none of the current Round 2 people will see any of his seeds! )
3) Chad is a really fair guy, and I don't think it was his intention that a few participants get special treatment (i.e. - a second visit before others get to see his box even once!) to the detriment (delaying the train) of everybody else.
I therefore suggest the following -
* Round 2 duplicate names be removed from the current list, so that everybody who wants to participate in Chad's train gets to do so before people start taking a second bite out of the apple.
* Once the Train is nearing it's final stop, we THEN see who still is interested in participating in another go-round.
In order to avoid any further disputes regarding "did you mail it yet" like what happened earlier in this thread, I would also suggest we all agree to spend the extra 50 cents or whatever to put a Tracking # (Delivery Confirmation) on the package. When a member sends the package on its way, they should PM the next person with the tracking # - this will also provide effective communication between the individual members on each leg of the train's journey!
Having a tracked package should also considerably lessen the chances of the Train getting de-railed due to the package getting "lost in the mail" by the USPO!
Any objections?

I agree that it should go to everyone on the list before it takes it second tour,but then there needs to be a stop on round one. the first trip started quit a while ago and we are still adding to the list.
