I didn't get a damn thing
I seem to recall last year Old RM threatening banishment and public humliation to any member who bailed on the Secret Santa gift. I think that rule should have been applied to this year as well.

Hopefully your gift is just late on account of poor shipping service.

Not sure about the banishment, but if I recall there was something about being gone for a month.

Hell if I care, just hope my elf liked what they got!
Hey if you have problems I would appreciate if you PM'ed me. I already talked to you about this problem and we came to a solution. I told you that without a doubt you would have a gift however it would be late. I haven't been at my computer for a few days to take up this issue with you. I would appreciate it if you didn't taint every single secret santa thread with your whining. I feel very bad that your gift is delayed and that is always a chance when you're dealing with this many people. We haven't had anybody not get a gift and I would sincerly hope that you could be adult about the delay.

Yes there is banishment for the people who don't follow thru.

Well I guess you told me.
That wasnt' my point.

I realize that getting a gift late sucks and I do everything I can to keep up with the people involved during the event.

You posting in thread after thread isn't doing anything to get your gift to you any earlier, It's just making this event look worse and we had an awesome year. I appreciate that you stuck to your word and sent your gift out. I'm sorry that ONE person didn't.

Everybody did very well, the gifts were great and so was the box decorating.

I went to Best Buy and there must have been 150 people in line for returns and 75 in the check out line
See we went at about 9pm monday night. It's funny because people are still in the Christmas RUSH!!

PS. on a side note, next year I will be doing very limited internet shopping. After the hassle of sending 2 things back I'll think twice next year.

Fixed!!!


Edit: We have a freeride forum?
Stosh, I am just busting your balls. I don't think your opinion of their HRM will hinder their sales or stop people from shopping there. :p Besides, I am sure the nice folks at Pricepoint would like to hear your feedback so they can produce a better product for their customers.

Wrong, I'm never going to shop there again now that I know Stosh does
