While I can't totally agree with the cyborgs comments, I do think it's a little silly to camp out on a project for months and months hoping to some day send it. Just have someone else do it and get it open.

If your goal is to have your name in the book and online guide just have your stronger buddy add you to the FA list. You know... The same way pigs is on everything bolted past June of 2006.

I voted yes, btw.

well put bcombs that what I meant to say but you know what they say...

Crank, you sound like mother goose from he!!.

that bird laid that turd

rhunt, maybe you should go back to first grade and learn how to read

I have never closed a route I put up, and I never will.

While this statement does not directly specify whether or not I have ever bolted a route, I believe it very strongly hints at the fact that I have.
Just in case you are still confused, yes I have, and no I am not going away.

if the bolter did not bolt the route, then noone would be able to climb it. therefore, he can have some time to work it. however, red tagging for an extended period of time closes the piece of rock to other bolters who could open the route faster. and thats lame.

I respect the red tag however, ᴙↂᵷƔÈ

With all the routes existing in the red, you would have to be fairly whinny to get upset about a couple of routes that a piece of tape hanging from them. That route didn't truly exist till the bolts were put in, named and added to a guide.

Okay, reverting back to my original statement

Closing a line for a few days is one thing, but when it turns into a couple of months, that completely changes the story.

I agree with rusty, and expanding upon his statement there should be a time limit to closing a route, like two weeks...
