Okay . . . I guess I will through this out there for any input from the forum.
Here is a PM that I sent to Chazbo.
Yo Chaz.
Got a question for ya.
In the OP of the PIB/Wants-non elitist thread, APBTMarcel attributes the idea to you, so I thought you would be the one to ask.
My question is:
What happens if the last person "up" doesn't get any replies ?
I am ASSUMING that the OP'er would be the one to declare the "pass" is over and send cigars the person "up" , thereby officially completing the cycle, but in THIS case, ABPTMarcel started the thread over two years ago and hasn't had any activity on the boards for over a year.
Any insight ?
Just curious.
John
Chazbo's reply:
Hey John, that is a good question. I do think it's time to shut it down for a while. Let me send him a pm and see if he replies.
Chazbo
Chazbo's 2nd reply:
John, I sent him a private message on Monday and have not gotten a response.I think it's time to close it up for a while. You want to do it?
Chazbo
My reply:
How do we end it ? It's kind of a sticky situation
Presently, I am up, after sending to mountainman.
rrumba has agreed to "pick me up".
I told him about my question to you and he understands the situation. He is waiting to see if you heard back from ABPTMarcel about completing the cycle and closing the thread.
Seeing as how you haven't gotten a response, it seems that somebody, whether it's me,
(if we end the thread right now), or rrumba ,(if nobody picks him up), or whoever is the last person to "send", who doesn't get picked up . . . SOMEBODY is gonna wind up on the short end.
Like I said . . . it's a sticky situation.
Any thoughts ?
john
So, does anyone else on the board have any suggestions as to how to end the thread, or should we just continue on hoping that it will go on for infinity ?
