If you read the RS list, you see tons of posts praising all the various vendors who deliver the product at a discount and faster than a speeding bullet. So, we all know we can trust those vendors...Baggie, Evolviing Images, Toad Hall, Escape Artist, Aglaia, The Rubber Chicken, Ginny Newman,etc and so on and so forth...There are a good dozen or so more of them who have proven themselves over and over. Order from them and you know you'll never lose a dime!! They offer grab bags and discounts that are so incredible, I wonder how they make a profit. I'd be willing to bet there is not a stamp or an accessory you could want that one of them doesn't offer. If you see a post from a new vendor or someone you've never seen praised on this list and you would like to order from them, just send a post to the list that says, "If you've ever ordered from Vendor X, please email me privately." Believe me--and this is the voice of one who has done it--you'll find out about that Vendor. And if no one HAS ordered from that vendor--if you get no replys-- and you are concerned about losing money, just don't place an order. It's that simple!!

First was a paper grabbag of 50+ sheets of great papers - wonderful color selection and textures - will be so much fun to play with this weekend! Then I also got the collage grabbag - this is too much fun! Gave me some wonderful ideas - there was everything from feathers to gauze to Mad Magazine playing cards - makes me mad when I think of all the neat things I've thrown away over the years! I also got the great catalog from Wildlife Enterprises - wow! They are going to drain my bank account! These are by far some of the best wildlife stamps I have ever seen! I will be drooling over this one all weekend - better get out the bib now. Then I found out when I got home that there are 2 more packages waiting at the post office for me - so tomorrow will be another great mail day. YEAH! Doing happy dance again.....

Perhaps its done accidentally -- but then again not. But I certainly support leaving the trashing off the list. Well spoken (okay, make that well written)! Toni<< "Relatively new .... frequently disturbed ...." ??? I would support leaving *trashing* off the list; but, if someone has not kept their commitments, has received monies for supplies and never sent them -- has taken at least one person for in excess of $65 ... I maintain that the others on the list have the right to know that their $$'s may be in jeopardy. If 12 people were "taken" -- should we wait until it's 120? Let the person go right on hostessing while she holds onto cards for swaps that concluded months and months ago? Look, if you were my friend, and I was leading you through a darkened tunnel -- I'd tell you to step left or right of any pot holes. But, I'm baffled as to the latest posts saying someone is being *trashed*??? My post referred to "Madame X" and "Madame Y" ... do we have any of that variety ... and any resemblance to any person on the list, living or otherwise ... might be construed as being purely coincidental.
