The success of the Olympics has nothing to do with the quality of job ACOG
did. I really think the Games was great. but,...

Some say ACOG did a good job then they should not be blamed. This may be
true, but please do not say such things before you see Georgia Tech campus
today or this week. More than 10 days after the games, but our campus was
completely ruined! Tech campus WAS beautiful before!!

ACOG already moved out *valuable* thingies, such as banner, etc.. But,
they NEVER take out most of messes on the ground. Is this ethical for
tenant who borrowed other's property? Why do we have to clean up other's
messes?

The same thing in our apartment room when we moved back yesterday after
2-month 'kickout' by ACOG.

Can you imagine cleaning a toilet bowl full of *mess*, without getting
paid? We are expecting clean room whenever we are checking-in? Why, do we
have to clean, before we are bringing our thingies? Why the floor of my room
is *sticky*? I asked many of neighbors, and all said the same.


So, I think the following already got benefit from the Games;

City of Atlanta.......became famous
(including normal city residents)
Billy Payne...........got $$$

But, at least
Georgia tech
Georgia Tech on-campus residents

did get messes, not the benefit. These huge messes cannot be cancelled by
the benefit we get.

Think again. Say 'the Olympic was great'. but do not say 'ACOG did a good
job', at least in front of me (that will not happen, right?)

I will never forget what ACOG did around us.
