"1: Death in the family or of someone close to them
2: Loss of their job
3: Moving overseas
4: Job or other change in circumstances (having a baby for instance)
meaning they have less time.
Are you really asking Clint to decide when someone pleading one of the
above (or similar) is telling the truth?"

1. Too difficult to fake, therefore not a problem. Of course, when your
*fifth* granny dies...
2. Interesting one, that. I don't know if unemployment pay in the UK is
still as bad as it was when I last lived there, but if it is, you have a
point. In France, you'd hardly see a difference.
3. I have. Didn't affect me in the slightest. Judging by the number of
non-UK players in MEPBM at the moment, this is not an issue for them,
either. Fax and email are wonderful things. <g>
4. And babies suddenly appear out of nowhere, do they? <g> I think that's
an area where you can plan a suitable takeover. <g>
You missed out my favourite: being in hospital having heart surgery. Of
course, I'm biased... <g>
