I'm not in the swap either but there was a new revised swap list posted a little while ago and that post seems to have been removed. I'm confused.

I'm afraid, if the pen swap isn't going ahead as originally indicated, then we aren't interested in being part of the changed format.

What an anti-climax to what should have been fun.

Gavin, rest assured this is being fixed as I type, all will be as you expected it to be.

Peter, the organiser did, unilaterally and without consultation.

However due to numerous complaints this is now being rectified and the new draw will be posted shortly.

It did but I think they pulled it back to go over it again.
Atleast in this case you are not crazy.

I can't testify for any other cases

Fred (or whoever?),
Not exactly sure whats going down at the moment but I did notice on the second draw that was posted (since removed) that there were more OS than AUS. If required I am happy to have two partners in this swap if it means all OS get matched up with an Aussie

The moderator did not "pull it" to redo it, he put it in moderation to make sure this time it would be right, it is, 3 times lucky
