| Hey, dknj, love ya, man. Thanks for the info. Really cool.
But, ummmm.... Well, don't you have a responsibility to the organization to take care of the USFA's data in the way that organization is expecting before you share it with anyone else on a non-USFA message board?
Just saying. You know.
It's not like there hasn't been enough complaining here already about who and why and whatnot to blame for the smooth flow of USFA processes.

Just saying. You know. | Well,
If he was getting paid as the USFA website administrator, you may have a point.
-and-
If the USFA website was actually up and running consistantly, you may have a point.
However, he seems to be disseminating information via a site that is both popular among fencers, and frequently available.
Kudos to him.

Feltan | |

| OK, Feltan, let's put it in a perspective even you might be able to understand: You ask a guy to put together some information on your own website. But before that even gets started, you see the guy has posted it somewhere else -- i.e. NOT your website. And you're OK with that?
Kudos to the guy you asked to handle the task for putting you off. | |

| I sorted the entries by weapon. Two files: one for senior and one for junior. Some of the names will be mangled, such is life.
Quick and dirty grep | awk | sed for those without a handy console:

Reason: unmangled names

I would also probably be a bit embarassed that my own website wasn't up for the task, and would have -- several months ago -- taken action to correct things. The last thing I would do is chide a dedicated volunteer for taking action.

Feltan | |

| I think what we need to do is thank Dan for posting the information and not bítch at him for the inadequacies of the USFA website, which as we know doesnt pay him for such services.
Thanks Dan!

On the other hand, to take the data and convert it into the proper HTML will probably take, oh, maybe half an hour, depending on how hard it is? I don't think the USFA will mind that the information showed up on the website a minute later than it might of because Dan posted to fnet. | |

| I prefer to think of myself in the service of fencing, rather than in the service of just the organization.

| Well, heck, as long as it serves "the greater good" ....
What else can we post here before putting it on the USFA site? Skip the middle man entirely! We don't need no steenking organization website. Dknj, post away, man.
(Really. The next time any of you ask someone else to do a particular task and they run next door first, think about your argument here.) | |

| No no no no no ... Post it HERE first, silly.
We won't need a formal USFA site anymore.
By the way, you're sharing data on other fencing sites as well, right? Full and fair dissemination? | |

| OK, I have an important question: I dont see my name on teh confirmed entries list, even though I have received the fax from the USFA office days ago... This is my first NAC and I have never dealt with a situation like that. What should I do? | |
