Fwiw I would be willing to help out with the draft if you need me...I am available except for Christmas Day.

Too late, the door has already been slammed shut...........I mean............this is rooskie we are talking about.

Oh well...I sitemailed him anyway...

You got that right.

Having run dozens? of progressives over the years I know how frustrating last minute changes or dropouts can be. I would recommend that you guys talk it out, find a solution...

If all else fails, watch Joe Piscopo and Eddie Murphy as Sinatra and Stevie Wonder singing Ebony and Ivory...

Thanks for your positive thoughts and timely advice, 

I think we have worked things out,

Cool.

I've known Russ quite awhile. He strives to make things run smoothly. Real life can be a *****...

This is the commish who bans you for life (and in the afterlife too!) if you post your drops before your adds, or vice versa?  I forget the "correct" order but if you mess up you'll be taking that DIRT NAP, ha ha.

Seriously, this is silly stuff.  Why would anyone put up with this stuff?

I never intended to question Russ, his actions, character or how he runs his leagues. I have nothing but positive things to say about him. I am a big Rooskie supporter.

It was my actions I wanted comments on. I have removed the original post. But I asked: Did I do a bad thing dropping out and only giving ten days notice when I was previously unaware of the impending draft? Were my reasons for dropping trivial? Was this grounds for being labeled an owner in bad standing?

I have run several one-time theme leagues but never an on going league or a progressive. I have belonged to many that were held up for weeks looking for a replacement for someone who mysteriously disappeared. I have great admiration for any one who tackles what is sometimes a difficult and thankless job.

Water under the bridge. Many have stepped forward willing to take over my draft while I am gone. Now I have to come up with a massive proxy list covering eight or nine rounds.

For those who posted, thank you for your comments.
