Snub Nose 38

The Snub Nose 38 and Runaway Moose bid to co-host World Cup 13 is withdrawn without prejudice.
Please understand that we had been seriously considering this before yesterday's little tiff. And that's all we consider it to be. I am confident that I over-reacted to LE's post.
RM has a new part-time job, and just found out she must be away for about a week during the WC13 timeframe. She also has to devote a big chunk of time to Grad School Application (many of you know what a pain that is)
SN38 just lost a key employee (my deputy), and will be doing two full time jobs for an indeterminate time. Also have to be away (filling in for that same deputy) for a week in the WC13 timeframe.
We're sorry to have to withdraw, but would rather be sorry about withdrawing our bid than sorry we completely screw up a WC after accepting responsibility to run it (include an "if" in there somewhere).
No hard feelings. See the beginning of my response to LE yesterday. I was in a very bad mood, and probably should have wanted before I replied.
We're still in, just not as potential hosts.
