What she said. David, I just got home from a wonderful weekend. You know that I responded to your "vaguely BOG related" post to Texascavers.com from my Blackberry as I was stopped for gas on the way home with the short message of "WTF?" Mallory, Clint, and Roger, PLEASE correct if I'm wrong, but hasn't the biggest difficulty you have had in hosting the NSS BOG meeting this weekend been David Locklear? Didn't he cause you constant problems with his weird offers and lack of commitment, up to and including after the party started last night? He did show up last night and contributed some food and helped with this and that, not that anyone really knew that he would show up or was counting on him to contribute, but he did, and he was around until this morning. I'm just in disbelief that he would take away from a job so well done with his mean-spirited, bizarre way of seeing things and posting them. I think he is way off the mark and he has problems he ought to go outside of caving to address. Bill Steele In a message dated 10/23/2011 2:22:51 P.M. Central Daylight Time, mmay...@gmail.com writes:
David, I strongly suggest you "de-friend' cavetex for a few weeks, or however long it takes you to sort yourself out and get in a better place mentally and emotionally. Seriously, what are you talking about??? Everyone I spoke to had a terrific time at the BOG Party last night. We got tons of compliments on the party, the venues provided for the meetings, lunch arrangements, etc. Sure, there were a couple slight hiccups, but anyone who has ever hosted a large caver gathering run entirely by volunteers knows that those happen and I doubt anyone who wasn't directly working on party planning even noticed. Thank you SO MUCH to all the Texas cavers from all around the state that showed up, and the grottos/organizations who donated so we could show the BOG some good old-fashioned Texas hospitality. I will post the details tomorrow for all who weren't able to make it. I certainly wouldn't want anyone who wasn't able to attend to think that the BOG was anything close to a "complete disaster". Far, far from it.... and David? FYI, the BOG Strategic Planning/Initiatives meeting is still going on, so the "last BOG member to go to the airport" is still sitting in his meeting. Please attempt get your facts straight before you start trashing the people who worked hard to put this together.

I am imposing a 48 hour FDF on all the active cavers in the 3 grottos of that region. And a 1 week FDF on the planning committee of the BOG. And a 3 week FDF on all the old GHG'ers, who did not lift a finger to help. I am imposing a 6 week FDF on the person who had the idea to serve RAW corn tortillas with the fajitas. And a 2 month FDF on the person whose job it was to delegate items for the party such as ice and paper plates, and other food items to complement the fajitas. And a 3 month FDF on 2 individuals who made my life miserable since April. And another 3 month added on to that, for whoever made the final call on the registration web-site. And a 6 month FDF to whoever dropped the ball, on getting the last BOG member to Intercontinental Airport. For those not on Facebook, I am filtering you out of my e-mail for 2 times the amount of time. I am imposing a sever penalty to Blackberry for all the headaches I had with my phone this week. Meaning, I am going to tell everyone I know how much my Blackberry Style sucks. And I wish I could FDF myself. Friday, the transmission went out on our car. This caused me to miss 1/3 of the Howdy Party. And the shade-tree mechanic that I hired, loaned me the beater from h*ll, that broke down on me on the way to the business meeting. And after that, I had to put out a $ 10 problem at work, that made me late and exhausted upon arrival to the BOG Party. And to mother nature delivering her swarm of mosquitoes, I will dedicate my life to killing every mosquito that I can that touches me or my family. I will allow at least 4 particular cavers a fair chance to contest the above FDF's, or to request a reduced suspension, only because they did quite a bit of work on the BOG and have also on previous occasions, and it would would have been a complete disaster had they dropped the ball at the last minute. David Locklear much more grumpier than usual --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: _http://texascavers.com_ (http://texascavers.com/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: _texascavers-unsubscribe@texascavers.com_ (mailto:texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com) For additional commands, e-mail: _texascavers-help@texascavers.com_ (mailto:texascavers-h...@texascavers.com)
