HOLIDAY CARD EXCHANGE 2021 - Labels and list sent

I signed up, thank you for organizing this. I hesitated but I need this opportunity to kick my creativity into gear.

As far as the 2 poster - I know I don't post much but only 2 times in 2 years? I say no.

I find this reasonable. Those that respond will make the decision.  You (or anyone else) can’t be responsible for those who don’t answer. I’ve been involved in a LOT of volunteer groups over the years. The lack of response isn’t new. Some people are busy, so don’t see it, some don’t care one way or the other so they don’t respond. It is what it is. 

Do we need to make the decision today?  Do we need the addresses the first week of October?  Perhaps you would like to just have the decision made, but I vote to wait a week or so and see if the mysterious Pea weighs in on her status. But that’s just my opinion!

I’m here almost daily, but rarely sign in. I only signed in yesterday & today after reading this update. That said, 2 posts seems too suspicious for my comfort level and I vote no. I suggest we follow 2peasrefugees precedent & adopt a minimum # of posts to participate, as is done on the FSOT board.

that sounds like a good idea!  not trying to be stalkerish, but since you wrote the post, I checked your 'recent posts' in your profile.  It looks like you actually log in to post at least a few times a month, and have posted each of the past couple months... I would consider that an 'active' pea, even if it's not all that often, you do post, and the most recent times have been fairly recent.  That, to me, is completely different than someone who hasn't posted at all in the past calendar year. 


I guess I never think about reading without being logged in-  I typically log in so I can use the 'participated' button to see which threads I've posted in; that way I can read them more easily.  I think there are also people who may log in, and stay logged in, for a loooong time.  So even if the last time they logged in was 3 months ag, they're *still* logged in today?  That might be another reason for eventually moving to some MINIMUM # of posts, or having posted fairly recently, like, say, sometime in the most recent 3 months, for example.  If people know something like that was a requirement up front going forward, they can start posting a little more frequently right around the time of the holiday card swap, even if they *typically* read without posting.  

(and really, we're not that bad, lol!  are we??  I used to be 'afraid' of the people who would post on NSBR on the old 2Peas site, but I think we're a pretty okay bunch of people with some good, useful info.  Even myself... even though I used to not think so about myself.  So if anyone reads but doesn't post because they think no one wants to read what they write, have you read some of the topics we post about?  lol!!  We'll talk about pretty much anything, including things as mundane as what to have for dinner, good brands of vacuums, movies, tv shows, dog and cat vomit, jello salads, potlucks, etc.  So if anyone reads here without posting for whatever reason, I say, try it!  we're not as bad as we look!  lol!!)

Same. Mine says I'm invisible.

That’s me! Invisible 

I’m a no regarding the participant in question. While it may well be that the person has a sincere interest in participating, I’m just not comfortable including someone that hasn’t posted at all in two years.

I would say no. I thought we had said something about having to be an active pea. And even if “active” was never quantified, 2 posts 2 years ago wouldn’t fit that. I feel a little bad, but that’s how I feel.

My vote would be no.

I agree with the "no" on the mystery participant.

I vote no for the 2-post person. Seems suspicious on the face of it, and why would someone who doesn't post want to exchange cards with us.

ETA: I only noticed there was a question here when I saw several new posts. 

I do agree on that. 

I am very little help re: the current question, because I could go either way. Sorry.
