[Snowball] Draft Snowball Group Guidelines

[Adrian Flynn]

Hi Jeramy,
New thought.
To help prevent loss of small parts why not use a Plastic trash can
liner with all parts inside it.
I am sure almost everybody will have these on hand and will help
cover for a missed seem or tape falling off.
Everything else sounds very good.

PS: Go to USPS.com <Large Flat Rate Boxes> <http://tinyurl.com/cw9pwu2>
and order a small batch of large flat rate boxes.
They are FREE and NO delivery charge.
They come in packs of 10 or 25 and are in a nice box to keep them handy.
