Hi!

I have found that sending simultaneously is not such a bad thing. I have
been fooled once (a $100 Magic deal), but I tend to have faith in people
anyway! I have a long list of refs for myself and I always provide the list
with my trade. I know also some trustworthy people on this SR-list too (I
mean some who are proved to be trustworthy, ie. I have traded with them.) I
however cannot be a reference to someone who waits for the moon to come
down before sending his or her part of a deal. We all want to complete our
collections or tune our decks as fast as possible, so I suggest that if you
make a deal with someone please complete it right and fast. Waiting really
is a pain in the as....harhrha! And it also gives a Bad Reputation to
someone who has this bad habit of keeping other(s) waiting.

And BTW Gil, the cards have been on their way for two days now...

...and it has been -31F here for a week now!!!
