Whoa, time out!
Maybe I'm misreading your tone, but I get the
feeling of being singled out here. I may be mistaken.
Oh yes, my tone was not intended to be accusatory in any way!
I have nothing but the utmost respect for you, Mr. Skull; you're an adroit
poster, and a valued member of the List. Believe that no offense whatsoever
should be taken from my diatribe; I wasn't even bashing those who have fallen
short in the vine situation... I was trying (albeit poorly) to relate how
difficult it is to assess someone's intent, and what to do when you suspect
another member of malintent. Actually, my rant was more a plea for help than
anything else.
Point being, I'm not the only one who
*clearly* expressed some feeling of frustration and disappointment over frequent
'vine failure'.
Point taken... I responded because you weren't the only one (had you been,
I would have contacted you directly, rather than take up the group's time with
the issue).
As you pointed out this group belongs to all
of us, I reserve the right from here on in to decline anyone who failed to keep
their end of the bargain on moving a vine along
(AKA "moving the project forward"). I will do
this *ONLY* on vines I start, and it will be done off-list\privately. And with
the condition that once they uphold their commitment, I will gladly add them to
the end of any vine I begin.
That's my "final solution"
Mr. Skull Okay with me...the group does belong to everybody. But what about the
vines that already exist? Like this recent post from NoKeating: "Hey,
remember this one from a while back? I received it from Luis in Argentina,
and I'm sending it out to Scott Burnett, in Utah.
Cheers,
John" I wonder because of this recent post:
"I received the MITB Cds from Brazil and after 2 days I
forwarded them to Richard Hall-US (who had been very quick in sending me his
snail mail address); then... silence. So I sent another set of CDs to the next
in line, Mr. Scott Burnett (it was August 2nd, and I was leaving for my
summer holidays). When I returned back from vacation, I checked the e-mail
and saw no messages from Scott confirming he had received and forwarded the
packet. So I asked if the CDs had gone lost (I was ready to make a third
attempt!) and finally Scott emerged saying (on Aug. 31st) that he was going to
send MITB to Cyrano
Then, no sign of life.
Music Would Be The Best
marco" Ya see my predicament? I don't know what to think here. That was why I said
that "consequences" for errant viners is a difficult thing to dispense... Many
of us here come and go as we please, which is the way it should be. I, on the
other hand, have to watch everything. Sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming. And
in a couple of weeks I'll begin a new job that promises to keep me even further
out of the loop!
So, I apologize that you mistook my tone as an indictment.
And I want to again invite anyone who'd like to get "more involved" with
this mewling toddler we call the List to email me privately. I could stand a
couple of trusted 'Sergeant's helping run this show.
Speaking of which, I have to be gone for a week starting this Saturday.
JimL, could you do me a favor?
Regards,
SOFA
