Well it seems my extended time away from the forum has sparked some hard feelings. First of all i ahve had major internet problems with charter, anyone who has them will understand. I work construction and this is my busy season. Lastly we have had a tragedy in the family as my brothers father in law commited suicide and my brother being the unfortunate one to find him. It has really affected him deeply and so i have been spending more time with him and my own father as he gets on in years. To add to that fact my wifes grandfather was found walking the street and did not appear to know who he was at the hospital so the family has been busy with trying to find arrangements for him. The last thing on my miind was a internet forum. I did not screw anyone. I paid it foward as i was supposed to. If you wanted a thank you, then here it is a little late, but i would hope some on here would understand. Thank you for the cigars it was a very nice selection.

It's been a busy weekend for me so excuse my tardiness in asking this question:
Who is the biggest mooch?
DISCLAIMER: I'll be out of the country from tomorrow (Tuesday, Aug 7) until Wednesday (Aug 15) so whoever the winner is will have to wait a little bit. Sorry for any inconveniences.

I think there needs to be an addition to the rules...
If you KNOW that you are going to be out of town in the immediate future for work, vacation, etc. then don't answer the call for a mooch. I mooched a guy on June 27 (LoganEva) and it seems that shortly after he left town for whatever reason. I e-mailed him and on July 11 I got back "My apologies. I just got back in town. I've been slammed getting caught back up with work, so I will get them out as soon as possible."
I resent my address, waited and then sent another e-mail on July 23 and got back the following: "I am so sorry. I've been swamped with work and such. I've only been at my home...for about 5 days out of the past 25. I've been meaning to get around to it. I have even picked out the cigars, I just haven't been in town and had the time to get to the local UPS store. I will send them out as soon as possible, as much as I have said that lately. I apologize about the bad timing. Hopefully they will be out in the next week. I am expected home Thursday." It is now August 7 and still nothing. You don't HAVE to participate in this PIF thread. If something unknown comes up that is COMPLETELY understandable. I don't know if that is the case here but c'mon...
I see some postings that give a warning that they will not be able to ship out a PIF for a week or so due to work or vacation. In that case, were you know ahead of time, PLEASE don't play the PIF game until you get back. It screws with the flow.
Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
BO was going to post this sooner but he's been really busy at work and outta town most the time.
