Why have you cancelled your appointment to answer these questions?

[UPDATE: please check comments before voting for this question. Thanks! - NN staff] That's sort of a rhetorical question, but, look, you signed up for this and now you're arranging the business of Congress so you can cancel. Apparently you couldn't stand the heat so you're not setting foot in the kitchen?

I'd be interested in hearing an answer, but believe I know the reason already. Furthermore, I don't think there *is* any good answer. You signed up, you should show up. And bring the rest of the people who signed up with you.

    I may have jumped the gun - here's the background. There was a report of this on Democratic Underground, and I found the links to the announcement by Googling. But when I go to the front page of this site, I can't find it by browsing. I am very confused, but that's not unusual.....

    I'll get it straight one of these days. Not the front page of this site, but of Netroots Nation:

    Can't find a thing, although the link with the news of cancellation that I Googled *is* theirs. 'Tis a puzzlement.

    Actually, you are linking to a link from last year. So far no one has canceled anything.

    FALSE ALARM, rate this down, please.

    Somebody posted this at DU, and I was looking for a supporting link because they didn't provide one, and didn't notice the date on what I found. Apparently they *did* cancel last year, but have not done so this year.

    Perhaps I shut this down too soon. From what I hear, these all questions might as well not have been here and she might as well not have showed up....

    Oh well, what did I expect?
