The problem with you Werner, is YOU make TOO much sense! You lay it
all out plain and simple! No double talk, double entendre's, nada!
Plain old english, the way I like it. If I could repeat my post to
you, I would. If I could apologize for the actions, taken against
you, I hope you know, that this group, is in your corner. You have
been the voice of reason, of good common sense, a person who REALLY
cares and knows what this City was and now, what it is. I've learned
so much through you, Frank, Mario, Dan, Glenn, Jack, Maureen, God
Bless her, the short salespro, the bikeman, the couple and if I missed
someone, I didn't mean to leave you out! Really, I thought I knew
about AP; yeah, I've been reading "negative" stuff about this town,
since I landed here, but I was taught, "Believe NONE of what you hear,
and HALF, of what you see"!
I knew that there must be something awfully valuable here, because
EVERYBODY, want a piece! Like the "Big Apple", I ain't never got a
bite! Let me back up a bit; Thanks to the legal eagle, JR and all of
the real estate people! Know what else? I don't agree with everyone,
all the time, but I respect the fact that I just may be wrong, as
perfect as I think I am! After a hard election, where lots of mud was
flung, we're still here. Werner, thanks for your knowledge and I wish
I had done my homework, like you have. Just wanted to give you 2
thumbs up!
