Yep, it'd be nice if we could set a deadline and everyone actually meet it! But for at least 4 go-rounds of the dirty comp, it is always as such: lots of interest up front, then a beg for an extension, usually granted once or twice, then a number of folks drop out, and we sort of scramble to make up the difference in the end. Well, life gets in the way, sure. Maybe this year will be different?
I'm always up for contributing and hearing whatever others have worked on.
