I think we can get to know a member pretty well by the time they have posted that many times.
I was thinking if the chains get too big, we could start splitting the boxes into more specific stuff - boy/girl clothes, small/large toys, something like that.

What you think a good chain length is? If we're thinking business shipping, 5-9 business days, + 10 day grace period to send the box along, that's 2-3 weeks per person. Since the GE's are 4 months apart, I think that would indicate 10-12 people per chain. Assuming we start with fifty people, maybe we have five boxes of each going around a ring. Once the first person gets the original box back, they send it to a different chain.

I think this would work. I like math. I am happy to be the "chain" coordinator.
