Sorry I singled you out Tamis - that was rude of me. I had just read your post after trying for weeks to help some friends get some ADR's to no avail. It is frustrating, and I shouldn't have taken it out on you. You're right, it probably isn't that big of a deal when people double book ADR's for a very short time while they see what works best for them. It is the people who double (or triple, or quadruple) book then don't bother to cancel that are creating the problems (plus the fact that my friends waited until WAY too late to even try to book anything even though I warned them repeatedly - AND they must be going during one of the most busy weeks of
free dining). Sorry you had to take the brunt of my bad mood and frustration when it wasn't even you I was angry with.
