**M** y recollection _switching to official capacity_ is that girl scout cookies are sold at times that vary by region. If all towns got girl scout cookies at the same time, the girl scout cookie infrastructure would not be able to handle it. Sort of like what happened above. Don’t ask me how the same reply posted twice. Either the hamsters are coming off the wheels or it’s the darn dialup computer I’m posting from right now. ---
