On Deb’s initial thread, titled “this is not a rant”, that started this discussion, Nisha wrote the following:

“Just a reminder - I did a test by filling up my inbox with Thank You gifts, and then went back to see what happened when I received non Thank You gifts. The CIs, fixers and passes REPLACE Thank You gifts if your box gets full. So you don't need to worry about loosing CIs when someone's inbox is full, unless it is full of non Thank You gifts.“

Based on Nisha’s response, I am no longer concerned with sending passes. However, I think I am going to limit my sending to 30 a day, 60 when time and personal energy allows. I'm not sure this is the correct conclusion front the test. What the test proved was that new items _displace_ older ones. So it does not act like a physical holding bin where once it is full nothing else can be added. Yes CIs still came in and older TYs were lost but only because TYs were all that was there. It is likely that it is a first in, first out (FIFO) situation. So if you have CIs at the top then they will be lost as TYs are added at the bottom. An easy way to check is to fill up your inbox, note who and what are the top 20 or so items. And see it these are discarded in order as new things come in. As I said in the thread, I won't be conducting this test.
