    I've been around the block multiple times and thought I had seen it all. That was until today. I had agreed to a blind trade with @twofacedmonster with zero guidelines. Sadly I fell behind and let him know I would be a few days late in shipping. He shipped anyway. This is what he sent:

    ADWTD
    Fou Foune
    Raspberry Temptress
    Coffee Cinnamon Abominable
    Drago
    Divine 15
    BBA Legion
    BCBCS
    Courage RIS

    In a world of trade winning, rewaxing bad traders Bryan is a breath of fresh air to me. Perhaps the best line I can provide from him, if he doesn't mind me sharing is this:

    "One thing I realized with the Fou is that they are not fun to try and trade. I feel like it places you in with a different level of traders. It seemed like people were just trying to win and bully me around in discussions, I got pretty frustrated dealing with it. I saved one for someone else I traded with previously and one for your box"

    I had not traded with Bryan before but I can promise that besides my return box (which I'm still stumped on) the next time I stumble across something worthwhile he will jump to the forefront of my mind.

    Treat people the way you'd like to be treated and be amazed at what happens. For everyone that says the commorodity and advocacy is dead they just need to look at @twofacedmonster to realize that's not the case. Thanks Bryan!

    I agree with @twofacedmonster's assessment and plan as far as Fou' Foune. I'd rather just drink it, whether it's doming the bottle or sharing with other folks. It's too good of a beer to let go of... which is why it's incredibly generous for said person to send it out! Two cheers to you both!

    Wow what an incredible blind box...I wouldn't even be able to return the favor with the best of what I got if he sent me this

    Based on what @twofacedmonster said above he obviously knew of Nick's previous history with regards to generosity. Before (and after) I saw his post I was thinking he couldn't have picked a better person to hook up.

    Well done Mr Twofaced (BTW, if you're ever in the McKinney area let me know and I'd be more than happy to return the generosity you showed Nick; my "cellar" will be wide open for you).
