| Message | i'm really not trying to cause problems.. and this situation is actually totally different than mussina b/c that time i had submitted and tried to change.. this time i submitted early b/c (as i told tim) i have been away at a 3 day conference and had no idea if i would be able to connect with him again. so i said, "here is what i want to do, but i did make dan a previous offer, so unless you here from me BEFORE the deadline this is my transaction." my concern was being at the conference and not being able to get my swap in. i apologize for the trouble but as i said, this was why i phoned tim in the first place.. to find out what i had to do to ensure it happened proper. sorry for the trouble. |

| Message | Well there's two things I've been known for in my commissioner role.. Allowing gray areas to develop and not gathering all the facts before making decisions.. After icing my shorts (as opposed to gizzing them?), it appears this situation is the same as the Mussina one - which I ruled in haste and incorrectly on. A submission prior to a deadline, reserving the right to make changes before the deadline is still making the deadline.. This was my concern, that the deadline wasn't met. I suppose when you delegate responsibility as I've done to Tim, you have to allow the person the freedom to police their own turf. So.. The deadline was met, and I'll backpeddle in an effort to support the discretion of our dedicated Yahoo consultant. Sorry to drag you into this Pat, but you see I threw a shout out to your peeps in the sentence above.. Arrgh, Donny.. I'll get you yet!!  |

| Message | i only put it on the banter board as a courtesy to the other gm's. my purpose in PHONING tim was to find out "WHEN i was required to have this in" tim gave me an answer and i complied. the rest of you can go throw some ice down your shorts. |

| Message | Don emailed me his move yesterday well before the cutoff and told me to put it in unless I heard otherwise by that evening. I didn't hear anything, and made the move and posted the move on the message board of the yahoo site as I have with all the others. I put them both in last night so there stats have already taken effect. From now on, none of this wishy washy crap, if you email me the moves they are official. Make your moves with authority, not with a quiet "one more" on the going three times signal. Also, please email me all moves, timfry15@hotmail.com, by 8:00 PM the previous night. YOu can post them here, but there is a chance they might slip through the cracks. I check my email way more often that the banterboard. |

| Message | In this case I believe that a slim pick move should only take effect the next day....not the day of. In this case sorry Don you do not get Rich Hill's line..... |

| Message | Perfect, an excellent standard to set for the upcoming 30+ slim moves this year.. Tired of all this grey area BS.. different rules for different GMs.. depending on who talks to who.. Tim is it ok if i put Loewen in on the morning of any of his starts after I sleep on my decision? I can see Pat getting ahold of this one and turning on it like one of my sloppy sliders, kind of like the Mussina for $1 and pending contracts submission... except this time he'd be right.. |

| Message | forget you dan.. deputy commissioner tim told me i could email him in the morning to be effective same day. nice try though.. hill's line is mine! |

| Message | These moves both effective April 20th. Make sure you email moves to Tim and myself as well for 2 reasons: to adhere to the 8PM cutoff and to have better stat tracking this year.. i'm hoping to be able to track all the moves and produce a final update this time around. |
