John B Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 (edited) I realize I am jumping the gun a bit, since the answers to BFT #25 have not been posted, but I want to minimize any delays and have my discs ready to mail out as soon as BFT #25 wraps up. This test will only be one disc. There is a "theme," but the disc can (hopefully) be enjoyed with no knowledge of what connects the tracks. If you are interested in participating please send me a PM with your name and address, and I'll post a running list of signups here. Also, if you are outside of the United States and would be willing to assist with distribution in your country, I would appreciate it!

Dan Gould Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 First of all, I'm in! Secondly, I may be confused, maybe we've gotten out of the groove due to the recent extended delay, but I thought signups start when the discussion starts, and shipping is sometime around the posting of answers to the current BFT? Since there will be sub-distributors in the States, I think its a very good idea to get things moving sooner rather than later.

If so, I'm right on time! As I recall, the most recent sign-up threads have not occured until answers from the previous test were posted. I agree that it makes more sense to take signups as discussions occur and mail the discs out once answers are posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan: maybe you didn't notice that several of the European subscribers only got their #25 sets four or five days ago (also I assume a few are still waiting?) - thus John is perfectly in schedule, as far as I'm concerned!

PM being sent! ← same here - after 4 days with 10 performances of a theatre production I was in, finally some time to finish my examination of # 25 - had to interrupt after half of the tracks. Looking very much forward to the next, seems we're rolliing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Well, I don't think there's ever any harm in getting the signup started earlier rather than later. We've gone by the start of the discussion in the past. I mean, it may be disconcerting to have not received the current one and have a new signup started, but that doesn't at all mean that the next one is shipping before the previous one runs its course! But the longer for signups, the more people who sign, I always say. ← Yes, I agree - however, I thought you were jumping a bit at John becasue Rooster had a chaotic oranisation going on, that's why I weighed in. No offense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durium Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I'd love to receive # BFT 26. I hope this time it will work fine, as I'm still waiting for my BFT #25 CDRs that are still on their way to find the most remote parts of the world, e.g. The Netherlands.

John B Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I'd love to receive # BFT 26. Send me an email or a PM with your address and you are in.

Durium Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) Dear John, I received my copy of BFT #26 yesterday (May 28th). What a service !! Thanks !! I'll wait with the discussion until you give the starting shot. Edited May 29, 2005 by Durium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted May 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 I've started mailing out the non-US discs so that everyone is able to have a chance to hear the disc before discussion starts. I'll start mailing out US copies next week, but will hold off on starting discussion until Rooster Ties has a chance to post the answers to his test.
