But I am now considering rescinding my resignation - if that's allowed. I have been quite moved by the support I've received from from the fellow ORFFA coaches, both in pm and openly in the forums, and I feel sad about leaving. I haven't made up my mind yet and I don't have time to write more right now, but I'm hoping you can all put a hold on finding my replacement if that's alright. Cheers, Ant </blockquote> Well mate I think you are for sure allowed to consider any decision, but I am sure you can understand the rest of the league requires certainty to occur at a defined point. So whilst I support your right to consider your options I also feel you should consider them with a view to rest of us, there is probably no huge pressure to trade in this period, but should you decide to opt out we need to source, educate and involve a new manager well before Feb 1 so they can trade and then draft with some research behind them. Should you decide to opt in we don't have an issue, but again, expediency is not a crime..</blockquote> No worries Len; all fair enough.
Sorry for the delay, and for the dramas, but I can't pull out !! This league is too much fun. I won't have enough time to be as involved as I (and maybe others) would like me to be, but I will keep managing my team. As long as the commish let's me rescind my resignation. So I'll leave it with TiB to make the call on whether to let me continue or not I wish I had more time to write right now, but I don't so that's the basics of where my head is at Cheers

Haha, thanks TiB. Maybe I could have swept it aside and forget about it... But FWIW, I figured this was pretty clear: <blockquote>Quote from anthak on September 12, 2012, 00:22 I'm out too! I'm not happy at all about the way BL has been treated. Not only this situation, but the failing memories of the draft; There was one day that BL was sleeping when it got to his pick and people were waiting a few hours and he has been put over the coals for it. It was literally a few hours, but seemed worse as most others were online at the time. I was online a lot throughout the draft and I personally think there were plenty of others that were worse than BL at being nearby when it got to their pick. I came across this thread tonight and couldn't believe what I was reading. I haven't been able to be around near as much over the last couple of months, so I haven't been reading all of what's been going on, but I think it's really bad form to boot someone out without hearing from them. I was advocating harsh penalties for not fielding a team, but I didn't think it would come to this. I was thinking more along the lines of being demoted in the draft order. Setting a deadline of 3 days to get back to a pm or they're out is ludicrous when the list management for ORFFA teams doesn't really fire up entirely till 2013 - more than 3 months away. Then when BL did respond, I'm bemused at how many people chose to interpret it as though he was not interested when he specifically wrote he wanted to continue on in 2013 FWIW, I forgot to field my team a few times near the end of the season too, and entered it after lockout each time; 1 time I was really late. I think the teething problems this season should have been considered. If we had have started at the beginning of the season, then we would have had a finals series and it may have been more interesting near the end of season, which may have led to everyone fielding teams. I have also read a few times the suggestion that a selected team should carry over from round to round. This is a simple solution to avoid zeros, and I think this should be implemented next season and that coaches shouldn't be shown the door for misdemeanors this season when we had a possibly floored system in place. Anyways, I'm not happy with the treatment of BigLance and I'm pulling out of this league as well. I had drafted for the future as well and I was really looking forward to the coming years. It's been a lot of fun! Although I was already considering whether I wanted to continue or not anyway, so this thread makes my decision easier. I'll still be hanging around TS a bit, so I'll see you all around the traps. And I will continue to manage the team until a suitable owner can be found, including updating my team page at some point with all the B&F votes etc. It's been a lot of fun over the season and I'd like to thank everyone for how much everyone contributed! It's a shame that a few incidents have tarnished season 1 of the ORFFA tbh as it's a great concept. </blockquote>

Sometimes ant subtlety is lost on you He already did, as far as he is concerned your resignation didn't happen, all good move on, mind the bus
Haha, thanks for that Len The boldness of the statement threw me tbh and maybe I saw it as a good opportunity to allude that I'm still pissed about what happened, but now happy to move on
<blockquote>Quote from Lenh191 on September 26, 2012, 22:32 Sometimes ant subtlety is lost on you </blockquote> Almost always btw Especially if its coming from Terry
One of my palms is looking a bit sickly Len. Seems to have a bad dose of ant subtlety. Think you can help?
