From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shane Ford Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 10:00 AM To: Gatornet Admin; Gatortalk Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gatortalk] For Randy & Jerry B. in Regards to Daily Gainesville Sun Posts I QUIT! You find some one else who has more time than me, like rhillyard here, to do this. Ungrateful....... I have 3 small kids (all under 2) at home and I don't always have time to sit down in front of the PC on weekends to post articles the minute they pop up on the website. I can do that during the week A LOT easier than I can on weekends. If I'm a day late or a little later in the day on the weekends, is it really that big of a deal? Obviously to some people it is! I had over 400 emails on Sunday to sift through and I had less than 30 minutes while they were napping to do it in. On top of all the text editing I have to do to get these in the "proper" format, I didn't have time to see who posted what from the Gainesville Sun for me. I thought I was helping, but if I'm causing people like this to have a coronary then ask him to do it. He obviously has the time and is looking for some thing to do to help out the group. I QUIT!
