Pacific BX 389 CLOSED

Mark et al,
Having, myself, a few (nearly) thankless volunteer positions with local hobbyist societies that can overwhelm at times, I sympathize with Dell's obvious exasperation as I also marvel at the *enormous* amount of work administering the BX must be (and hence that he hasn't already told us to collectively bug-off many times).
Even harried volunteers, however, are usually willing to respond to brief, polite inquiries - and those that start with a pre-emptive thanks for the recipients' efforts will be best received and most likely replied to ;-).
I'm sure your inquiry was only meant to express concern about your order(s) - but such an inquiry might be less likely to be interpreted as unappreciative criticism if you contacted Steve Marak and/or Dell privately rather than complaining to the list.
Thanks again Dell and Steve for the frequency of your BX/SX efforts!!-|<ipp

Dear Mark,

Get a grip! We are volunteers and you need to be grateful for what we do. If you are not grateful enough to understand this, I suggest that you just bug off!

Is this also the situation with SX4? S. Marak never replied and it's been
weeks.

My computer is behaving very badly. I have received too many orders for
them all to be filled. I am struggling to sort out who has ordered what and
when. I will not confirm receipt of your orders; you will just have to wait
and see. Please do not write to inquire; I will not reply.

Sorry,
Dell
