Need your comment answered?

By Carly | November 25, 2013 |

Hello readers! I’m back from vacation! As the resident Fastpitch Power webmaster, I was greeted with hundreds of spam comments (fun fun!). I tried to go through them all to make sure none of them were real, but it is definitely possible I missed some. If you left a comment on our site anytime since October 16 and it was never approved or answered, please feel free to re-post it on any article, including this one! I’m sincerely sorry for the inconvenience. Anytime we fail to answer one of your questions, chances are there was some technical website issue that prevented us from seeing it. You may always ask twice, or contact us directly if we don’t respond to your first question in a timely manner. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
