While I'd much rather have BoSoxFan bring his box-o-steaks to Seattle that weekend, if he wants to have a barbeque with the understanding that the potential group of participants may be smaller because something else is going on he shouldnt have to alter his schedule. It's sad enough that he lives in a state with a crappy baseball team. He shouldnt have to lose to our Do as well

One clarification (since a couple of people have asked me about my intent in being "judgmental" about what is right and wrong).
I essentially agree that we are going to have conflicting "do's" from time-to-time. Sometimes these happen because lots is going on in the world and two or more great things happen simultaneously. Sometimes they happen because someone doesn't KNOW that someone already has a "do" posted.
What I don't want to see happen - and again guys, this is only my
opinion (and my 12th grade social studies teacher Mrs. Nelson always told me an opinion can't be WRONG if you truly believe it

) - is that if someone INTENTIONALLY plans to have a do solely for the purpose of competing with another do, then that is just not right (not as in right vs. wrong but as in that is LOW). I guess I'm in the minority... either that or it just makes me sad to have to choose between where I have to go.
