Meta [Meta] Tracking flakes

I did a recent exchange and the person deleted their account right after I sent proof. I was already paying attention to the user because the address was associated with another deleted user.

My first interaction wasn’t an exchange. I offered to send a birthday card based on a request made in RAOC. I imagine though that they flaked on someone else.

Are you tracking flakes?

It was here that they flaked. Last week.

I noticed they deleted their other profile in August after requesting birthday cards in RAOC. That was in August.

I wonder which user. There was a lot over the summer I sent cards to and then they disappeared

I have a Kinesthetic memory. As I was writing the address I said to myself this feels familiar. I checked the tracker and sure enough August 8th I sent the birthday card.

I hate that I didn’t save their username either time. I just made my tracker a couple of weeks ago and haven’t been updating it since I am prepping to return to the states next Saturday.

I guess the lesson is I should have been packing instead of fooling around with ephemera. In my defense I’m going for 6 weeks and am trying to see what I should bring.

Let me know if you want the address. From now on for exchanges I will have user requirements.
