Re: Effective immediately: I'm stepping down from my position here at Eog
VD, Blondie and Tuck all gone in the same month? Doesn't seem irrelevant.
I have to agree. Tough to keep sweeping these things under the rug and pretending nothing is wrong. What would be so bad about an explanation every now and then? Some of us get to like these people that act as EOG representatives, hard watching them slip off into the night without a word.
FTR I like Tucker, did great with the contests. I didn't get in many but got in one last year or so and screwed up the guess. Instead of Lightning I said Rays. To head off trouble I sent him a PM that if I won give it to the next guy, let's stay out of harm's way, not worth it. His response?
Fuck that Patrick, it's obvious what you meant, you win you're getting paid whether you like it or not. Something similar happened at another forum and that mod said "thanks Patrick, really appreciate it". LOL! What a wimp. I didn't care about the prize but it was kind of neat he was willing to take the heat to get things right, very much unlike SBR and their prize committee (Lou for short).
