I wanted to post on rec.sport.disc

Instead of being asleep at 23:18 on 25 September 2005, kitt created this:
I wanted to post on rec.sport.disc, but Kris told me I shouldn't. The people of rec.sport.disc have a knack for picking apart posts and shredding even the most innocent phrases.
So, here's what I wanted to post in response to this post which I believe was made by someone who clearly was not as resourceful as he should have been.
> Technology obviously failed since people could not generate ids > in time to be added to the roster (which again was midnight on > Wednesday, not days before for 'slackers' and not 6 pm when the upa > is no longer there to help when there are problems). On the days leading up to each Wednesday deadline, IDs were generated every two hours from 8 am until about 10pm Colorado time. Email support for the online rostering system was also available until past midnight each day, Pacific time. All players who were listed as "Not Found" on a roster were reviewed to determine if the team organizer tried in good faith to add the players to the roster (an ID number was close, or the player's name was only a little off). The UPA added such players to the rosters. Yes, the technology and processes are new, but the UPA made every attempt to minimize any negative impact. I'm not convinced the technology was a failure. But, I am, of course, biased. Kitt.I'm biased, because I wrote the system. I'm biased because I was doing the email support. I'm biased because I never received any help requests from the person who made the post. shrug
