While helping OGR set up for the York show I was informed that this morning the Eastern Division said it is now allowing cell phones to be used in all halls. I guess someone was listening to us. An announcement will be made prior to the opening of the show. Please be courteous to other if you use your phone.

Don't worry. Folks will find something else to criticize and complain about.

It's already started. There's a guy who started another thread complaining about the requirement to wear a badge holder so the badge can actually be seen.

The silence on this forum will be deafening!!  It will be empty (except for Eddie's countdowns).  Listen for the crickets!! 

 

If we are allowed to use cell phones in the halls, that's when no one will use them.  

 

Never fear, the Chicken Little Syndrome will still be alive & well.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the announcement at opening over the PA system did not actually say that cell phones were permitted, and it did not say that the rule has been rescinded.

 

What the announcement said was that the no-cell-phone-rule would not be enforced.  Small point perhaps, or perhaps not.  It means that the rule is still on the books, but not being enforced for this meet at the discretion of ED.

 

Sure enough, a half hour into the day, there was some klutz standing in the middle of an aisle in the silver hall, yelling loudly into his cell phone and completely oblivious to the row of people piling up trying to get by him.   Clueless.  I don't have a position one way or the other on cell phones in the halls, but you gotta laugh.

 

The self-apponted hall monitors seem to have moved on to fanatical enforcement of the yellow arrow direction; I have never seen so many people yelling at other people to follow the arrows. Gotta yell at people for something i guess.

 

Enjoy the show.

 

 

 

I hate cell phones.  I hate the rude behavior of folks on cell phones.  I hate seeing the goofy ear pieces and people talking about dumb stuff I have to hear.  Why, oh why, can't anyone stay off the dumb things anymore.  I leave mine off most of the time.  They, in my opinion, are severe distraction from life.  I long for the days before we all had to be connected to this dumbness and related to each other as humans.  Ban them...please.. ban them to save my sanity.  What the heck...how in God's name can we live without being slave to another box of electronics from China (Now at York).
