I have a serious disagreement with Administration regarding (thieves & swaplifters, also sometimes liars). Essentially the thieves require "protection" where as those flaked upon are to receive no protection. Must be why this site has the most rampant theft of any trading site I have belonged to. I have received a letter saying that I cannot "name" those who have RIPPED ME OFF, but interestingly enough when I tried to get the address once of someone who had ripped me off on a $25 swap (plus shipping) to file mail fraud - I was not allowed it. Wonder what the US Postal Service would think of that? Most trading sites suggest this action when having been ripped off. I have removed the names here as requested, though I am reporting them to Good Traders Against Bad (GAB) and other sites who keep track of bad traders. I think those who commit mail fraud should be outed everywhere on the net. You should not make it easy for the bad people to rip off those behaving good.

Hello everyone, I am 46 years old & live in Fort Smith, AR. I am an avid reader of Sci-Fi fantasy. Some of my favorite authors include: Paul Kearney, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Jim Butcher, George R R Matrin, JK Rowling, Patricia McKillip, John Meaney, Jim C Hines, John Moore (too many to list). I adore my Chihuahua, Brutus. I love to cook, play cards, go to movies & Pogo. I enjoy traveling & trading. My favorite color is green & my favorite number is 8, I am a Libra/Metal Ox and my blood type is A-. Sites I belong to besides SwapBot include: MySpace, TitleTrader, Pogo, LibraryThing and PTCO. I thank Candyswappers for introducing me to here. I am looking forward to many fun trades.

Favorite Movies: The Prisoner Of Zenda, The Sorcerer's Stone, The Sixth Inn Of Happiness, The African Queen and The Shawshank Redemption.

Favorite Places: London ENGLAND, Yosemite CALIFORNIA, Bora Bora TAHITI, NEW ZEALAND.

Favorite Foods: Olives stuffed with garlic, Tippanade, Italian Icees, Chocolate, Shrimp and Crab. Oh and... ICE CREAM!!!

Favorite Music: Almost anything: Love classic Mowtown, Brit Invasion, Speed Metal, Classical, 80's Hair, Lullabyes, Marrillion, Rush, Crowded House, Beatles, Sam Cooke...

I COLLECT: Beatrix Potter, Comic Books,Embroidered Handkerchiefs, Art (Fine Art & Animation Cels). Some everyday items have become collections after years of buying and receiving everyday items: Bookmarks, postcards, matchbooks, pens/pencils... I also have old collections that are quite large but I really don't contribute much to anymore: Comics, coins, Star Trek, Pokemon, Tolkien... I still go to the Star Trek conventions once a year but the only thing I have collected for some time is the actor's autographs. I have over 70 now.

I have a degree in both Art & English, so naturally I enjoy reading, writing & making beautiful porcealin teapots. No kiln near me anymore so my teapot making days are on hiatus. I am really into all forms of mail art though.

Because I seem to get them all, I will now begin a BAD SWAPPERS LIST/QUESTIONABLE SWAPPERS LIST. It may help you to decided whether you want in a swap or not (if a person who fails to send is in it). This software apparently lets someone rip many people off before they are ever suspended...
