Reminders on Answering Questions

Just a few things to remember as we head into summer: - Summer brings about travel, out of town guests, and stay-cations for many. If you will be unavailable to answer questions for any reason, please be sure to let us know so we can mark you out. - If you receive a question that you will not have time to answer, do not know how to answer, or do not want to answer, please request reassignment as soon as possible. The due dates on questions do not change, so we need to reassign them as soon as possible to give the next writer enough time to respond . . .
