When it didn't? We had people turning up in January wanting to volunteer in July,or showing up in April trying to book December which meant I spent time reading through all the comments trying to find whoever wanted that particular month.
It was maddening.
Saying no people can't do that pretty much was a sanity-saving decision.
Which isn't to say we're complete ogres about it. Take this month for example. It's NaNoWriMo. So if there's a line up of volunteers in, say, Jack/Daniel, and I come to a person who says "oh shit, I'd like to volunteer this month, but I've got NaNo, so I really can't!" it's fine.
We'd just come back to them in December and see if their schedule was any better.
