No idea. I think someone failed to pass it on and the thread died. Last time I saw that thread surface was years ago. You want to be on the list for the box of crap?

Interesting. One of the SC must have felt this was more appropriate for a different sub-forum and moved it. I can still access it after my paid membership expired last night.

or maybe thought we'd get more bites this way. After all -- who doesn't need more crap?

I also have a pretty good collection of odds and ends related to photo gear.
It will be interesting to see what's popular for sharing/trading material in this adventure.
If there is another opening, put me in the game, and I will be happy to share the loot.

Added you. One more person and I'll put myself in slot #11, so that I can get some crap too.

Sure, sign me up. Spiff, maybe you should strikethrough the members as the box gets passed along so we know where it's at?

Good idea. It should be in Bear's hands by the end of the week. You're on the list.

It's here. Some fun stuff in there. Spiffy done good. We're deciding what to stick in it right now, but I can tell ya there's gonna be one major addition :-)

Post a pic of the open box, and show what you take out. Just to give a tease and maybe get some more participation.

Alright, here's the box as it arrived:

Here's what we took from it: a gorilla-type mini-pod that will hold the Lumix well, and a little lens-cap string anchor that will connect the Lumix to its cap-with-a-mind-of-its-own...

What did we put IN? That's for the next in line to discover, but I guarantee that someone, somewhere down the line, is going to be absolutely thrilled :-) Plus a couple more nice-but-relatively-mundane objects. If everyone in the early phase of this process does what spiffy and I have done, the box is going to be a really nice treasure-trove thingy. It's not a joke, there's useful stuff in there :-)

LOL, sorry about that. We had dinner guests, moved the box into the guest bedroom, and it slipped my mind :-) It's ready to ship now, I'll drive it to the PO shortly. Get ready, Ann!

Nononono... I'm hoping that bear puts the missing chunk back in so that the xquirrel can have his nose back!

That's the something special about which Bear was speaking :)
