Here's the deal: I set the 12/15 deadline because so many people who initially expressed interest said that they would not be able to start until after the holidays.
THAT SAID, a number of you would like to start NOW. PatriceJ tells me that I can start matching/pairing you as soon as I want. And frankly, I've already started the work of finding what I hope will be compatible swap partners.
SO... if you want to get started NOW, let me know via PM (please do not post your answer here) and I'll communicate the partner choices. JUST KNOW that if you want to start right away, the person I partner you with may not be able to start until after the holidays.
But there's no reason why some who want to start now can't.
I look forward to your PMs...
