    Not me. I guess I can count you out as my sender then :-(

    Edit: On second thought I never added my business address to my FedEx profile, so I suppose it could still be me and I just did not receive a notification.

    Note to my sender, and my target I suppose:

    I will be out of town March 16-20, and hopefully picking up some beers for my target's box. As such, please try to avoid delivery during that time frame. Thanks!

    Welcome to the Stout BIF, where all of @sandman3479's hints are direct comments about who he is NOT sending to. Haha.

    Hint #1: What does Jason Segel have to do with the IRS?
    Hint #2: Who would Jerry Seinfeld refer to as an artist?
    Hint #3: Out of all the names on the list, my target's is most related to mine (SportsandJorts not my real name,) but more so when Mercury is in retrograde.

    I thought I kind of jumped the gun here. I think my 5 hints have now narrowed the recipients down to just...
    Okay there are 7 people it could possibly be still. That's not too bad.

    Hint #4:
    regarding my target's zipcode, there's no helping how odd it is if said outloud -- not even if you add up the digits.

    Well thank you for the info. I guess I am too new school to figure these tactics out on my own.

    And his are probably much better than the headaches I used to give with hints.

    #NOOB questions. Are we supposed to actually guess based on these hints?

    (Pretty excited to be made fun of after posting this).

    It's not mandatory. But, the idea is to eliminate participants as potential senders, which is fun on its own because you can start to dream about what might be coming from that part of the nation. Also, by narrowing it down it allows you to cater your wants list to better suit their distribution area. In theory, you figure out a few likely senders, and you add some wants from their distribution. The sender can then try to hit some of those wants. Nothing is worse than when a target only has wants that are out of your distribution; granted trading is an avenue around that, but you get the idea.
