Oh, brother. Dave, I'm really sorry people hassled you about not
being "fast" enough. Good grief.

C'mon, everyone -- he was doing it for free, did a nice job, and so
what if we occasionally had to wait two whole days! No one should
ever complain to a volunteer about the job they are doing unless they
are volunteering to do it themselves..... because it isn't right, and
because that person may very well quit, as has happened here.

Thank you, Dave, for doing it as long as you did. And for that
matter, thanks to Mike for running the tournament almost every week
for so long!

Take care,

-- Jim
