Well if the box does not show up I say we all forward onto dbrad some stixs to amke up for the loss and for a sign of appreciation. I know he should have recieved at least 5-10 extra stixs that he did not start out with. I think we could forward on 2-3 sticks each.
Let's don't give up on the box just yet. I've got a phone number for Syntax and I'm going to try it a little later.
I could put together a normal box pass to finish out the rest of the course so everyone gets a chance to be in on a pass.
I hate that this has happened but I guess it's one of the risks.

I was thinking the same exact thing. I'm gonna put a package together for Dean (and I don't care what he says.) I can hear him now, 'no, no, guys, not necessary. . .'phisherman said:
Just got Syntax on AIM and he says the box is going out today.
Maybe he'll get it out for us.

I talked with him via AIM as well -- and he promised that it would be out today or tomorrow at the latest.

Now guys, and lady, there's no need to do anything like that.
We haven't lost anything .... yet :?
Syntax probably just had a lot going on and the box was forgotten for a while. Hopefully it will get to Capt and everything will be in good shape and we'll be able to have a successful conclusion to the pass.
Patience and optimism ... two things a lot of people would say that I need more of ... most of the time

cant speak for the rest of the board as i only read the cigar section, but i would say your assessment is inncorrect.
MikeG thanks for the explaination. He seemed like a good kid, but your right rules are rules. You'd think a kid in the military would know how rules work. I'd like to see him back some day and I hope you all get that box back.

Cute comment from somebody not in the pass. When you join a pass, you are obligating yourself to handle other peoples property with care and speed. This pass has become temporarily derailed, everyone is being fairly relaxed and patient with an unexpected delay and a lack of information about why. The members of this pass reacted by offering to take care of Dbrad4d's end out of their own stash...I call that caring, generous and selfless, but not pessimistic! I am sure Syntax will come through and more sure that we will continue to do box passes. If any of us were pessimistic, I doubt we would have joined a box pass...let alone a BLIND box pass. OK, rant over.
Welcome aboard h4xx0r.
I'm not sure if any of you visit other cigar forums. I do, and from my experiances, the people here, are the most pleasant, optomistic, and decent people on the web. I've felt at home here from my first visit. I still visit the CA forums, because I like to be abused every once in a while. :lol: :lol: :lol:
