<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 3310416, member: 36864"]I think Mike did a great job and went through great lengths to ensure that everyone enjoyed themselves and kept it running smoothly the entire time. As a former head of the exchange, I can assure you that it is difficult to keep up with every aspect of this and this heavily relies on the participants to follow through by sending a gift, acknowledging the receipt of their gift and posting photos when they open their gifts. I wish everyone understood this basic concept and how much it influences the decision of members to participate again. In the several years that I was the host, the number of participants declined every year as a direct result of others not following the basic rules. There is nothing that the host can really do about this except to adjust the rules accordingly to try and stop it next year. If you read the rules back several years until now, you will see that it is spelled out many times what is required to participate, the simple fact is that not all rules are followed. I’m sure that Santa Mike will make the appropriate adjustments to the rules as he sees fit, and I hope to see you all back and some new members next year. Let’s not let a few bad apples spoil this exchange, I truly enjoy it and hope to participate for many years to come.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
