Gift supposed to be at least $20, but what if the person puts for likes lots of stuff that is clearly very expensive? Gift card?

If the person is not being serious we will either not allow them to participate or let the person send in a realistic list of their likes.

Lord knows we have some smart-asses on this board.

I'm shocked!

I also suspect that you and Jeff are among them. I find it odd that last time you assigned me a person that stated they did not like books when I am a librarian. Coincidence? I think not.

I can honestly say that that was unintentional. Funny, but unintentional. I can't speak for Jeff but the only time I even look/read at the forms in general are to:
1) Sort everyone into categories when you guys first sign up (already have a running Excel sheet)
2) Answer a question
3) Get ideas for my own list. Every once in a while you guys prove to be useful with that. :p

I certainly don't remember what people's lists say and the matching is completely random. However, I assure you, we are smart-asses. :)

I've suggested this before, but maybe we can have a "floating" (non-stickied) thread that can be bumped from time to time. Some users tend to miss/skip over stickied threads.

Maybe have it as a discussion thread that points to this one.
Just a suggestion.

Dude you wrote a friggin' novel... Tons of information in yours. Wish everybody signed up like that. :)

lol, I felt silly when I hit submit! :$ First thought through my head was "I wonder if the form fields are long enough." Second thought was "I hope I wasn't too specific on stuff, cause I don't want whomever gets me to feel handcuffed and not be able to do something creative if that's they really want to."

Did it one year. Hard for me to buy for someone on ATOT, but not get my wife anything....

You know, there's an easy way to fix that problem...
