Commit To Podcatcher Settings Repo -- This is a much slimmer version since we are heading into a Drive Period at work http://git.launchpad.net/~skellat/+git/Podcasting/commit/?id=e7b94d699c16e2e212e7537923cb84627ec0d4c8

@craigmaloney I work balance due cases. The longest anything takes to post is 10 days and that is if a check is mailed in. If there is a 24 day lead time on *anything* then somebody screwed up royally. That would be a scenario where, if I handled the call, I would start penalty abatement consideration *sua sponte*. If you called in you'd have to specifically ask...and you should.

@rpcutts @andyc That would be because one of our US Supreme Court Justices, David Souter, stated in a court case about 15 years ago that while the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares things it doesn't bind the US government without implementing legislation. He also cited Eleanor Roosevelt, who helped draft the bloody thing originally, calling it a statement of principles only.

@craigmaloney Why do I have the suspicion that that came from my employer?

@craigmaloney Executed.

@rpcutts @andyc If you click on the "182 days" marker you'll see that the tracker disappeared for a month relative to SDF.

@rw Yeah. The folks at USBP screwed up. People at other agencies simply work through the avenues their unions establish. NTEU is good for something, at least. I think we’ve mastered the art of committing necessary things to verbal-only at work.

@rw After the freak-out by Pro Publica over secret Facebook groups by some federal civil servants in USBP, I'm surprised we're not seeing all federal civil servants being tarred and feathered due to who POTUS currently happens to be. I did my vicious pruning of people/entities being followed. The constant panic is starting to get to me to where I want to curl up in bed with the some poorly written RFCs about the Internet and some hot tea.

It bears repeating.

@rw It feels like it is either time for me to just nuke my account or time to start viciously pruning my following.
