joe's, if that is the only mistake you made, you are the Queen
re: mystery train, could it serve to look up the threads and just start at the beginning, was it a pattern with a beginning and end?
I was on a forum once where a trade train occured for 24 hours, you put up what you had to trade and when your ticket was called you picked what someone else put up...so you had to stay alert for 24 hours! Shipping costs put and end to that fun though.
