What Are Elite Swappers?
¬2
Written By Dodger/Interactive
¬1
After I read some texts about
swapping, I decided to write an
article about my view of swapping.
What it is like and how it should be.
I think most of todays so called
§A¬3"Elite-swappers"¬1§1 with ¬450 to 60¬1
contacts are not very good
pen-friends. Most of them have no
time to write long and funny letters,
because they're always in a hurry.
Like ¬3copying discs and sending 10
parcels per day¬1. They're always
interested in ¬4"Hot Stuff"¬1 and not in
quality. But remember: ¬2"Quality
outlives Quantity!"¬1
These ¬3"Elite-swappers"¬1 meet of course
lots of contacts at parties, because
they have so many of them. But
because of that they meet so many
guys, that they have no time for a
real discussion or some drinks
together with them. So called
"Elite-swappers" spend lots of time in
front of their monitor and so ¬4they
loose their REAL friends.¬1
Another reason for not being such a
swapper is the ¬2big amount of money¬1 you
spend for the stamps.
§AIn my opinion§1 a GOOD swapper is: A
swapper with, let's say ¬220 very good
contacts¬1, ¬2has more fun with swapping¬1
than any "Elite-swapper". Remember:
Fun is the reason for being in the
scene!!! When you have less contacts
you have more time for them, you can
write longer and funny letters and
copy GOOD stuff. This is the base for
real friendship. You're much happier
when you get a parcel with good stuff,
a long and funny letter and maybe some
extra-gimmicks like photos or
stickers, than when you get a 08/15
parcel with two "brandnew" intros and
a letter like this: "¬3Yo,...! Sorry
I'm short of time,have 2 write 2 sum
others,C U L8er!¬1" And when you write
your contact a good letter etc., he
will be your contact for a long, long
time, because he likes your sendings
very much! Fast 08/15 swappers lose
their contacts faster! On parties
it's much nicer when you meet just a
few contacts. So you can spend a
longer time with them and have more
fun. Except of all that you save
money by having less contacts and
don't spend so much time with your
¬3X-Copy¬1 that you lose REAL friends.
¬2You know...: Swapping CAN be fun !!!
