Why is Grovelbot uniformly assigned, regardless of whether a member has donated or not?
I want him to go away, and I want him to go away NOW.

1. Let me call you a whaaambulance!
:evilgrin: Just ignore the little bugger; he'll be gone soon enough. I think we need about 27 more people to meet the goal.

58. ok - ok! I signed up. Sheesh.

65. DK is getting less than his due, on every level. He's the only one who has the jailer's keys
jangling in his pocket and is dying to use them, to right the wrongs that have been
committed against the Constitution. People just don't seem to get that - or else
they do get it but don't believe he can deliver.

I give DK a ton of credit, at this point, just for showing up.

67. Thanks. Now I feel even worse about messing up his points.
Dennis, if you're reading this, 41 of Mike Gravel's points were supposed to be yours! Sorry, guy.

68. Aww, now I feel bad. I'd offer to buy you those points back, but then you'd only beq
cancelling out Gravel's votes and not advancing Dennis's, unless I bought double
what you spent and... well, it's getting too complicated here.

Did this make you feel better, or worse?

46. Light Bulb Moment: Actually, an interesting thing happened on the way to hating Grovelbot.
I noticed that, without the benefit of personal avatars, I had to pay closer attention to
the nuances of what people were saying, instead of automatically knowing what angle
they were coming from and assigning everything a meaning, accordingly.

Interesting.

More Grovelbot, please!

50. I love Grovelbot. I actually miss him when he's taking those long break of his.
Someday, I'm going to court him away from DU and have him all to myself. :rofl:

3. Comeon, petard...it's
just for a few more donations..

I donated when it wasn't a quarterly so I can't right now and that little grovel thing is annoying but all the more better when it goes away.

4. It's most likely not possible to assign him to just those who
haven't donated yet...

And I think also that he will be gone by tomorrow...

The drive ends today...

Patience!
