Am delighted to have reached bronze Hornet status but greatest thrill was doing it as partner to Jim Dandy. My thanks to him and to several others who partnered me recently: Colorful Ed, Bruce, and Larry, to name a few.

I agree it is not "fair" in the hornet tradition to allow a player to start them boot them for any reason.

We love you.

My apologies to our opponents last night in B4F. It was my error not to explore what the alert meant. I made an assumption about the bid and I was wrong.

It seems that most of my postings here have been problems but I would like to clarify a few things.
I do realize that running a club and directing tournaments are a bit like herding cats. Since I spent most of my work life doing that, I am loathe to do anything but be a "cat" who needs herding. (Thank you, Jim, for volunteering to train me as a host but as you can see it is not in my immediate future
I do respect the work that is done here and in the tournaments but when things "happen" outside the norm I do respond.
Sharon, to her credit (and possibly she will regret this)
, encouraged me to continue to speak out.
With respect for those who do the heavy lifting, I remain faithfully tied to the Nest.

Today I registered and started to play with a man whom I have played with before. After the first hand he was taken out of the game. When I asked the TD why he was booted (he was in the lobby), she responded: "He is blacklisted." I asked if she could tell me why and she said "No, sorry." Well............. if he was blacklisted he should have been unable to register or play at all. If this was personal between the TD and the player, I want to know why they have the power to allow the person to reg and play a board then oust them! I find this unsportsmanlike and not in the tradition of Hornets. If a TD has their personal blacklist, do not let the person register in the first place.
