I'm not talking about any one person. I am talking about everyone in every new group. In every group there are people who want to make excuses for not posting before they even try to post. We all see the same people day to day in life. We all know someone who goes to the boss at least every other week and says something like, "There is a chance I might be late one day next week. The left rear tire on my wifes car was low three days ago and I took it to the C-store and put air in it. If it goes flat this weekend I will have to give her a ride to work next week and then take the tire to get it fixed." Then they show up late next Thursday and when you ask them why and mark it unexcused they say "Well, I told you last week I would be late." Some bosses coddle people enough that they would console the guy and excuse him for being late. I am the asshole who would have told him in the first place, "Look, the tire store is open until noon on Saturday. I suggest you get your ass out of bed and take the car there and have the tires rotated and checked so you can be to work on time next week. Because if you think I am going to excuse your tardiness so you can focus on your X-box Saturday morning you have another think coming."
Posting roll is as important to me as it used to be to make sure I always had dip. Anything else will lead to failure.
