RE: (erielack) EL calendar: March 2008



Randy, let's understand something about working with Weakend Chief:

A number of people on and off this list have attempted to work with John Scala.  It's basically not
possible.  After months and months of urging John to send stuff along so you can get into it, and do
some research and/or find some other folks who know something about it . . . . no such thing
happens.

What DOES happen is that you get a total unannounced, no-warning Fed-Ex envelope, with the WC return
label.  You eagerly rip it open so you can get right into it.  Then you read the note that says
"This is the proof of the next calendar.  Please look it over, and send it back tomorrow with any
changes because it's already in China (or wherever) ready to go on press."

This has happened for several years with several of us.  That is why the ELHS >sells< the calendar,
but we take NO responsibility for the contents thereof.  Zero control = zero responsibility.  So,
yes, the calendar's captions range from "well, not too bad" to laughably incomplete and/or
inaccurate.
