Hi Rich, although I have strong feelings about these matters, my goal is not
to get too carried away. So I am hoping to remain open.

Perhaps I should have explained more in detail. It is our policy to have an
Administrator or Moderator start and manage contests. Therefore, Dave was
called upon to manage two of them. However, he was not able to complete them
and another moderator had to finish. I don't fault him for that, as he
explained it was a personal problem. In my opinion, I have to recognize that
he has greatly contributed in the past, and past positives certainly
outweigh current negitives in my mind. The reminder of the good in the past
is enough to allow me to wait for better things in the future.

Sir, at least you were given some sort of explaination. We did not recieve
the same courtesy. Listen, I for one am no stranger to life's unexpected issues.
I pride myself on good communication and I suppose I expect that from others.
Especially with the importance of the position he holds. Fact is he made
himself available to run those contests during a time when he was behind on
his duties here. Make no mistake, I see that as a little messed up.

BZPower is not taking Dave away from you and the group. I ask that before
going after him again here, you give him a phone call. I'm sure his number
is easily available to you, and a one on one conversation and a final
settlement taken out of the public square would be best for both you and the
.mecha group.

Look, he has not kept up on his duties here. If I complain it is because
something is wrong. I have been waiting and waiting. 4 Months of nothing and
activity elsewhere is bad form. He's got problems? I feel for him. However
it is not my responsibility to chase him down all the time. Something of
which I have been doing for close to two years now. I have had it.

I won't call him as I don't feel I should. His responsibility is clear. His
follow up is aweful and I wish I didn't have to be the one to say something.

Sorry but all the more reason to give the curatorship to someone else if he
can't keep up. If anything we need an alternate curator system to cover
these kinds of issues. Things happen people get busy. The show must go on,
evan if it is in the hands of a sub.

Just my two cents.
