Sending regrets

 * 1) Thanks for the invite, but I work on my PT job Wed nights.  Hopefully, next time will work out, because I'd really like to attend one of these! EaglesFanInTampa 15:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Thank you, but while I'm an alumnus of USF, I currently live in atlanta. Llamabr (talk) 17:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Thank you for inviting me, but I will be in Connecticut at the time, so I am unable to attend. Hopefully, we could arrange another meetup, because I've never seen another Wikipedian in the wild. (only in captivity.)JosCol (talk) 23:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Thanks but I'm a little far and have other commitments at the time. -- Alexf42 10:12, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Wish I could, but Tampa is really far from Daytona Beach. =( -- Maybe an Orlando event were held, I could. Keep me informed! -- eric  (mailbox)  14:12, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) I have work commitments too, but I look forward to the next one. Gamaliel (talk) 15:01, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) It sounds like a good time, but driving to Tampa costs me more gas than I can afford. Foobaz·o&lt; 15:11, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) I am a Florida native, but I live in Maryland and can't make it. Sorry. Don't bother sending me further invites - while I do appreciate it, it's very unlikely I'd be able to make one. Thanks anyway. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 16:10, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) I'm a non-driver, so a trip to Tampa from Gainesville is difficult to arrange. I'd like to meet some of my fellow editors eventually, but I can't make this one.  Horologium  (talk) 17:14, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) Thanks for the invite, but I will be out of town that day.  Donaldd23 (talk) 21:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) Sorry, it's a bit out of the way... a Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or West Palm Beach meetup (or any of the towns between) would be better for me. *Dan T.* (talk) 22:02, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 12) If I lived anywhere in Florida, I'd probably show up, but seeing as I live in the Netherlands and have no plans to travel to Florida this month, this is just too far away for me. So, thanks for the invitation, but I'm going to have to pass on this one. --Jwinius (talk) 13:19, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) Thanks for the invite, but it is too far from Miami where I am for the summer, as I haven't even got around to getting a license since establishing residency in Indiana.--Jorfer (talk) 14:19, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 14) I would have loved to have attended, but I'll be in New England until the 15th. Sorry! Alohasoy (talk) 14:52, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 15) I'm another one of those Miami people. I'll keep it on my schedule though. Maybe I'll fly up to Tampa... who knows. Katanada (talk) 15:05, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 16) Thanks for the invite...it's a little too far for me...I'm over near Pensacola...thanks again... Kuzosake (talk) 19:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 17) Thanks but I do not drive outside of Seminole County 98% of the time. James32746
 * 18) I might come if I were in Tallahassee, but I'll still be in Los Alamos, New Mexico. —Keenan Pepper 20:55, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 19) There is no way I can make it. Thank you, but sorry. JetsLuvver
 * 20) Over a thousand miles away even then.— Ryūlóng  ( 竜龙 ) 22:05, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 21) Yes, while I'm a Florida Native, I now live in North Carolina and won't be able to make it. Y'all have fun! Jmturner (talk) 22:26, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 22) Thank you very much for the thoughtful invite, but thesis work and another term at University will prevent me from making the trip from Daytona Beach. Cheers Riskbreaker2987 (talk) 00:26, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 23) Thank you for the invitation but, unfortunately, I am unable to attend as, until 2011, I am in Gainesville at the UF College of Law during the winter and Fort Lauderdale/Miami during the Summer.  If you have a meetup that is close to wherever I am, let me know!    :-)  Lawyer2b (talk) 00:44, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 24) Sorry, I'm in Wisconsin. Have fun! –  Scartol  •  Tok  01:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 25) I should make a group - Wikipedians with panic disorder related to transportation.  :o)  I literally can't make it there.  Have fun and thanks for the invite!
 * 26) I've moved to Tennessee recently. D. F. Schmidt (talk) 01:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 27) Too far for me, I'm afraid; I'm in Jax.  Gainesville is as far south as I'm willing to go -- otherwise I simply melt. :) María ( habla  con migo ) 02:18, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 28) Thanks for the invitation, but I doubt I could make it to Tampa. Murjax (talk) 02:26, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 29) Thx but i can't make it... sorry! --Napnet (talk) 02:55, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 30) Sorry, but that would be a 4.5 hour drive from here in Miami. -- Rab bethan  06:49, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 31) Alas, I'm flying out of state on the 13th to visit family. Tampa is a bit far for me for an evening meetup, in any case. -- Donald Albury 11:32, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 32) I'd love to, but since it's on a Wednesday, it isn't really feasible. If there was one on the weekend, I'd be up for it. Also, I live in Ocala, so an Alachua/Marion county  area meetup would be nice at some point, for any folks living near this neck o' the woods. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 15:07, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 33) Wish I could attend, but real life keeps me in Orlando this month.  Will try to make to future meets, though. - Canglesea (talk) 17:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 34) Can't be there, will be in Beijing, competing in the Olympics ... naw, not really. But I can't make it, Thanks for the invite.  Ryanjo (talk) 01:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 35) Thanks, but I must decline. Too far from Jax, too little time. Mgreason (talk) 03:08, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 36) I'd love to attend one of these, but unfortunately I've already made plans to be in North Carolina that day since the NC Gay and Lesbian Film Festival is in Durham that weekend. Please let me know when the next one will be held in North or Central Florida (or Georgia or South Carolina). DL77 (talk) 14:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 37) Many thanks, but no can do.  Too far (I'm in Lake Worth), 'specially for a Wednesday.  Y'all have fun. (Nuggetboy) (talk) (contribs) 20:52, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 38) Im sorry but I probably cant go--Lord Haw Haw29 (talk) 12:34, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 39) Thanks, but Wikipedia is more a hobby on the side than a full-time editorial occupation. Plus, living in Orlando puts a damper on my chances of going... Egpetersen (talk) 00:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 40) No thanks, I just got a tonsillectomy and an adenoidectomy on Friday.  Not feeling so hot :( phøenixMøurning ( talk/contribs ) 08:12, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 41) Wow - I didn't know Wikipedia had these kinds of things, neat! I would love to go but I am really busy this week since I've just returned from vacation and my kids go to school on Monday - lots to do. Have a great time and invite me again when its on the East Coast of Florida - I live closer to Fort Lauderdale. NancyHeise (talk) 04:45, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 42) Great idea and I'd love to. Maybe nex ttime, though. Cheers,   Dloh  cierekim  14:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 43) Was hoping to, but everything seems to be conspiring to keep me in Gainesville tonight ... hopefully next time! NightBear (talk) 15:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 44) Sorry, wasn't able to make it and didn't have anything going on near Tampa this week. jim09091 (talk) 01:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 45) Was out of town...maybe next time. Sirberus (talk) 16:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 46) Thanks for the invite. Maybe next time! BigGator5 13:15, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 47) When you have one on the East Coast, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/West Palm Beach, I'll consider.  Though I spend a lot of time on the west coast, I'm always 200 miles south.  Have fun though! ReignMan (talk) 07:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * 48) Eh.. I don't exactly have the capability of just going to places whenever I want, sorry. --A Hylian Human (talk) 21:14, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 49) *did not notice message* Sorry, yo.   Hello  21  12  23:11, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
