Are they sent in PM's?
Yes, admin will send out a PM with your buddy's name and address and a link to their sign up post
Does everyone generally find out about the same time?
Yes, everyone finds out at the same time.
Is it announced morning or afternoon?
It varies, apparently admin has a life. 
When the sign-up ends on a Thursday, would you guess we'd know by Saturday or Sunday?
It's most likely that if the sign ups end at the end of the week that admin will send the PMs out over the weekend at some point.
Is is a rare event for SB's to have each other's names?
It's been known to happen before but the rules state that buddys are randomly selected.
Is it always a seemingly endless time before finding out whose name you got?
Is this the largest GE ever?
Unfortunately yes. 
Not that any of these questions is of supreme importance but they did kill a bit more time...LOL
So did answering them. 
Hmmmm...have the ones announcing the names ever worked in the refund department of the IRS? You know as in being really, really good at spotlighting the suspense...causing you to check the postings at least every hour?
LOL
Oh, well...patience has never been my forte...it's a shame I have to reveal my "lack thereof" to the whole cyberworld. Hmmm...wonder if reverse psychology would work?
Probably not but it's worth a try. lol - go ahead. Quote:

It's not like I enjoy these secret games or something! Besides, I need to go empty the lint basket on my dryer. |
