Yes, I am one of those people that keep track of the cards I receive. I write the location of the lighthouse on the card next to the senders name on the list. That is how I get confused when I receive a card from someone that I didn't receive from in the last exchange (first months of 2001). Are they late with the earlier one or did they forget they were in both?

My stats so far: (all for no envelope)

1st-received all cards
3rd(early this year)still waiting for four
5th(current to 12/31) still waiting for nine.

Mine are ready to go into the mail tomorrow, good thing, I'm picking up my Christmas cards tomorrow evening, so I'll be busy with getting those 80 or so out.

I do think that Bob has a point, I'm sure some of the cards are lost in the mail. Esp. when the numbers people have or have not received vary so much. I also think that some of the people forget that they signed up or don't realize that it is another exchange.

In my sense of order I must check them off and keep track!
