Hey Suzi,
I trust that all is well with you. If you read the first three posts, then you saw that the first response (#2) from rcantor and it was quite similar to what you wrote. I replied (#3) with "My preference to exchange privately."
I choose not to infer any intent from your comments. If you have a desire, please PM me so that we can talk about it.
Concerning the game I played, I paid it forward and carried on the tradition that forum members did for me and are doing for so many others. Here is the box score of my game: 398 cuttings to 32 fig friends. Even with shipping + a buck for handling, the operation was about 50 bucks in the red. Although the game did not make money for me, I believe it added a modicum of value to the FF4F. Furthermore, I believe it upholds and reflects positively on the honesty, integrity, authenticity, patience, understanding, kindness, and friendliness that members have demonstrated in the past, presently, and will in the future. I also believe those characteristics are critical for this environment to continue to be engaging, inviting, as well as a place where you can get what you want or what you have never heard of simply by being involved and then inquiring/asking...publicly or privately.
