For my last clinic I refused to use the announcement feature, primarily because of the complaining it may cause.

The CMs are stuck, they need the attendance to make these events work and can only get the attendance by frequent messages. Frankly, if a message doesn't hit someone when they are in the tower they are highly unlikely to do so after they finish that flight.

Dale, in all honesty and fairness, I've seen many announcements at 5 minute intervals.   It does become excessive at times. 

Yes Dale, please deal with this problem as soon as possible.  It's hard to keep up with karaya's none stop broadcast in the LW arena with these CM's spamming the way they are.

I should clarify that, on my part, this was not aimed at Karaya, it was just a funny point b/c we all have our time on 200.  The same could be said about me.

reasonable... Should clarify, I like 68's ok, fun folks to fly against, had I the time, prolly fly in snapshot thingie...but I usually have like 90 minutes to splatter my blood in various patterns each night--when this event occurs, it's like walking down the midway at a circus, with a barker trying to get you to pay up and see the 2 headed wolf boy in the tent....for ME, quite annoying after a point.

Is it OK if we just do two, or maybe three, if they are spread out?

Picture that screen shot going on for 30-45 unsquelchable minutes....if ya haven't got enough guys after all that, ya never will. I appreciate the eagerness, but there are limits..I can squelch 200...I can squelch squeakers...can't squelch range, can't squelch country, nor CM's when I'm not flying in their scenario

I personally could not care less if it came out once or 45 minutes worth. I try to watch whats going on around me, not what is being said in three lines of text, but I can appreciate those of you that do try to read every bit of wisdom that is put out on text, so all I was getting at is that my my event will not be overly advertised, with twice about the limit.
