Hey Nathan, I am good to not speed test, proxy or pass down. Whatever you want, I am along for the ride all the same. I do have a legit question though as it pertains to my own past actions.
Obviously, no one has the time or inclination to attempt to read the ad before posting, that will just about always result in you being a no knife having sucka. So, I post the place holder as fast as possible as most do. Then I look at the ad to see what is being offered. On more than a few occasions, the scale materials I was looking for were not being offered. That turned those sales which I intended to complete into pass down/speed tests for me.
I always figured this was easier for those involved than bugging Jo before hand with hey, will you have this or that, which would be a message or email she would need to respond to if she even had the time prior to the sale. When the answer comes back"I'll check with Nathan" or " If I can get them done in time" I feel like I am adding more pressure and disruption as opposed to posting and seeing what I am looking for isn't there and just saying skip me. Also, regardless what she knows on say Wednesday or Thursday, sometimes changes by Friday as this is a fluid kinda thing that changes.
So, after all that long winded bullshit, I guess my question is, how do you want me to handle that in the future?
Last thought - I want it noted that when the league was disbanded, I sat atop the heap it's champion. I am retiring with the belt.
