Justified, We don't know each other...I come on this board mostly to get info on redevelopment. When doing that, one cannot help but run into the side debates that go on. I guess I am the definition of the "casual observer" you refer to in your post. If so, I can tell you that your logic is not lost on us. I really don't want to get involved in the nonsense but I can tell you that there are some bizarre posters here whose posts I do not even read anymore.
