Sorry, I obviously didn't express myself very well - this wasn't meant to be about deadlines at all.
It wasn't meant to be negative either.
The idea was to not have people complaining all over the place - usually in unrelated posts - how their names didn't get included but lesser names did - ideally there would be a plce for the inevitable disappointment to be expressed and for other people to help put things in perspective.
The subject heading was meant to be humorous - making fun of the fact that inevitably many people would feel some of their names that were not accepted are better than some that were. This would be true even if Monte's brain was a perfect evaluation machine.
