We shall see how that goes. Any funds I receive from the claim will go right back into the community.

That's too bad about the missing Spydie  :(

I always tape both ends and the flap on those priority boxes just to be safe.

Besides that, awlways include a detailed list of the contents. It might help deterring anyone from removing an item from it.

I would have really liked the Spyderco since I don't have one, but everything else was spectacular!  The generosity of this community is amazing.  I've packed another box full to the scuppers with goodness and it is ready to send to the next lucky recipient.  I'm just waiting for someone to step forward and claim it.   :cheers:

So then, does that mean you want it?  One whole box of awesome can be yours in less than a week.

Maybe you guys should just keep passing it around in a circle?  :think:

It is baffling.  I thought there would be more interest, but sadly, I guess people don’t want free stuff.

With the rules you don’t even have to add to box unless you want to keep more than one item and that is even flexible.

I have no problem receiving the generosity.  Y'all are such great members.  I am not trying to expand which is why I sit on the sidelines.  I was hoping others would pop in and see all the nice goodies and jump in.

Well, you know the majority of MToers are outside the US and A, so it's up to you to keep this going.

The fact that there are so many outside the US, os a downside, but I would have expected so more interest.

I know the pay-it-forward box is similar and has arrived in UK.  Maybe, I need to see what I have left in items and check some interest to start some for you MTOers down under.

We have an update on the insurance claim. In the mail today was a letter from USPS stating that they approved my claim up to a point. I'd asked for $60, but they approved me for the "free" insurance amount of $50. As I don't feel that money is for me to use to further line my coffers, I'll be doing a giveaway in the near future.

I would suggest it be a donation to the forum, which can always use it.

That's an altogether better idea. No worries about logistics and what to give away, and all users will benefit. Donation to the forum it shall be!

You folks are not going to believe what just showed up here without ever a mention or the slightest inkling of a clue that it was coming.  I am completely overwhelmed!  I had told Dan that the missing knife wasn't his doing and I didn't expect him to replace it, and Sherry just took it upon herself to send out another Dragonfly which I assume is out of her own collection. I figured if the post office made good on the claim then we could consider our options, and a donation to the forum seemed like the best thing for everybody.  I never expected this more than generous GAW within an already incredibly generous GAW.  Thank you Sherry you are awesome!  I've been given cause to say this many, many times before, but it feels like I need to say it again; MTO is the greatest community on the webs and I'd like to thank every one of you for making it so.  Now, about this box that's been ready to ship for the last couple of weeks.  Somebody has to want this, and soon, because it's getting in my way.
