[quotee0a81e8="Grid Iron"][quotee0a81e8="FrogMan"]I'll be my usual whiner and everything, but these changes, as small as they are, have got to stop. Please, we set a schedule and stick to it, it's not like simming it one day early will make the world turn faster or anything...
I'll be the first to say no, sorry.

I'm not taking a vote. I'm checking on availability.
[be0a81e8]Since your objection is based on "principle" that the schedule changes "have got to stop", and not your availability, I assume that you are available to submit at export by 10:00 pm tonight.[/be0a81e8]
If all remaining owners reply to this thread by then, I will run the stage. If less than all the owners reply by then, I won't. No big deal.
You may not like the proposed schedule changes, but I think you need to suck it up and not whine about it. You could have just said you weren't available, and that would have been fine.
What you did was make a judgment about me and the other owners which, to me, demonstrates that you take this league for granted, to some degree.
Running the stages, inputing trades, zipping the files, and uploading them every day gets to be annoying. Especially when I do it late at night (when I'm usually in bed) so all of West Coast owners have a chance to submit exports and all of the East Coast owners can enjoy getting the new file when they wake up in the morning before they start work.
Before you start lecturing me, or the rest of the league, maybe you should think about what you have done for the league. Maybe you should offer to run the stages every single day for a month.
You could have checked the draft every couple hours, like I did, and made picks for all of the teams that didn't set preference lists (or whose lists were empty) so the draft kept moving. If GE and I didn't do that, we'd still be in Round 7 right now.
If covering for Taco has taught me anything, it is what a difficult job being Commissioner, even on an interim basis, can be. Doing this has given me a tremendous appreciation for what Taco does for the league.
Thanks, Taco.
BTW, thanks GE for inputting all of the draft picks and giving me a break for the weekend to attend my brother's wedding.[/quotee0a81e8]
By making the bolded assumption you're assuming I am available, which is not really the case, got a busy evening and I probably won't be able to find time to put in an export. Oh yeah, I'll suck it up, but don't say I take your work, or everybody else's work for granted. I only see a schedule and arrange my own schedule around it. Then we change it. With no posted reasons, just like I didn't explain why I was against the move.
I planned on doing my export tomorrow night, but now it's tonight. Doesn't look like a big deal, well to me, sticking to a schedule is... sorry for being a pain
