I decided to go the extra step and contact beta directly and this is what he sent:
Thom,
Thanks for the email. I'm real sorry I haven't been active on the message boards...I've also fallen behind in the birthday club. I think the last month I sent my bombs was August, I feel very bad for that. I'm trying to graduate from MTSU in May, and that, coupled with applying to law schools, has consumed my thoughts and time. I've also come upon the usual financial difficulties that most college students experience. Also, I think I've only smoked 3 cigars this semester!
I guess the main reason I hadn't posted all of this on the boards is that I simply put it in the back of my mind...out of sight, out of mind, I guess. This is funny to me that I've had difficulty with this, when many of the other b-day club members have families and children to worry about.
Anyway, I definitely do not expect those people who did not receive their bombs from me to send me anything, and in fact I hope they don't because it wouldn't be fair to them. If those who received bombs from me would like to go ahead and send me b-day bombs, that'd be fine, but I'd understand if they didn't, since I have been inactive in the club as of late. My address is still the same, MTSU Box 9362.
I would really appreciate it if you could copy this message to the message board for me.
Thanks again,
Allen
