Life is just like that...priorities are priorities...and the owners are the ones that decide who has what and when. No stones being thrown at anyone, just a realistic look at what we all should know.
Roy,
As much as I agree with what you have typed and I know this little pet project I put together way back in April of 2008 will never be at the top of any reasonable persons priority list, it has become a burden to said owners.
I probably appreciate more what Patrick has done to help with this project more than you will ever realize. You may think you know and/or understand, however, you really don't. Patrick is a stand up guy and I will never and I mean never condemn Patrick for having a life. He has a Beautiful Wife, Great Kids, lots of responsibility. Patrick's focus is where it needs to be.
I told Patrick years ago when I started doing this, that if it was too much, it would go away. Because I respect Patrick, I'm trying to be a stand up guy here too. I fail most of the time, however, I do try. I hope and pray that Patrick never feels obligated to do anything, answer questions regarding this thread or justify his schedule. So folks, let not put Patrick in that position.
As far as Moderating goes. I know over time there has been some misunderstanding of my position on this board. I'm just an average Joe trying to make it from one day to the next. Being a Moderator would not give me the rights required to do what some are thinking and making me anything that would give me those rights I feel would be a mistake. Not that I wouldn't have the ability, I just need to stay out of the way and let things continue to run the way they are,
By most respects, the majority self Moderate and we don't need a heavy hand here (not that I would be one). We don't need another set of eyes to keep an eye on things.
Again, I would like to Thank Cody. He has shown great patience in this and we could all learn from him. He may be dying inside knowing that after lots of hard work, he finally did it and now.........
That's where the embarrassment is mine and it's just gnaws at me everyday. I put Cody in this position and it really hurts. So as you are all formulating your thoughts, remember, it's my error and you can direct your anger in my direction.
Let me offer an apology
Home that helps
Jeff
