        yet, we are not the ones complaining. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:40 4

        run it then. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:00 17
        
        It wasn't a critique of past people that ran it, only a suggestion moving forward. - Bacon Nov 16, 08:02 16
        
        the suggestion has been made. the person running it does what they feel is best. - Andie Nov 16, 08:04 15
        
        I don't think I can do better. I could do worse though, so there is that. - Bacon Nov 16, 08:04 14
        
        then maybe stop criticizing. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:05 13
        
        As I pointed out. I didn't criticize, you only took it that way. It was a suggestion. Can we not throw out ideas anymore? -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 08:06 12
        
        it was not a new idea. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:06 11

        (after 14 plus years of people telling you to do things differently, it gets tiresome) -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:07 9
        
        Well, then maybe I am the straw the broke the camels back. It was mearly making a suggestion. - Bacon Nov 16, 08:08
        
        andie, you cannot force someone to do anything they do not want to do. - groiny Nov 16, 08:08 7
        
        but the organizers are the ones that get the crap. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:09 6
        
        The organizers don't deserve crap, but it is fair to ask if name and shame for slackers would reduce some of the crap - TWuG Nov 16, 08:13 3
        
        There are specific reasons why people who welched weren't outed, as Andie has said in the past (and on one of these backboards). - kelly Nov 16, 08:16 1
        
        Nothing but admiration for those who run it and I bow to their wisdom - TWuG Nov 16, 08:19
        
        like i said, anyone who wants to run it differently, feel free. - Andie Nov 16, 08:15
        
        I understand that. Did I say you did a bad job? After every game of Fox and Hens we make suggestions to make the game better - Bacon Nov 16, 08:11
        
        I am not giving you crap. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:10
    - me too, for the record. - Andie Nov 16, 07:54 11
      - Who in their right mind would stiff the organizer? - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:12 10
        
        I'd stiff her, but she's married now... -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 08:14 1

        shitty people. - groiny Nov 16, 08:12 7
        
        but they aren't, that's the thing. yes, i know who they are, and no, they aren't bad people. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:17 6
        
        this particular case? there is no valid excuse for not getting to the damn post office. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:18 5
        
        oh, sure, mail the damn thing, of course. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:19 1
        
        I know one of the 2 people who stiffed me, and had communicated with them. - groiny Nov 16, 08:22

    - TMI -- nm - Bacon Nov 16, 07:54
