i often wonder if it is just a need to belong and be part of something (in thread posts only) without the "hard" obligation of upholding that commitment. again this is just a question and not an indictment of anyone in this thread or any other.

It is for the reason you stated (one of them) that I will NOT
sign up for more than 2 EASY swaps at a time, but I try to
keep it at only one swap so that I can make sure that I do
fail to meet the commitment that I made to the swap.
I have a swap that I would like to see done, but since I have
never "hosted" a swap before I fear that I may screw it up.

For catching my error, my brain was thinking faster than
my fingers wanted to keep up. IF that is the ONLY error you
found than I feel PROUD (LOL) because normally there could
be about 3-6 typo errors.
YES I would love your help in starting a swap.
