Guy, Please don't allow this type of stuff to be intimidating. There was nothing wrong with your post. This tactic has been well examined on the list. While there continue to be a few bullies that can't stop this type of intimidation, remember that the majority of listserv subscribers are readers of the public list not lurkers.
The vast majority will see this type of tactic and intimidation used against you for what it is. On the Mt Airy BID: I happened to run into a copy of the Mt Airy Times Express. Instead of a hand-picked board by the University of Pennsylvania Real Estate executives, their BID board will be chosen by election of the stakeholders. The meeting is announced in their local paper and the entire community is invited to the public meeting. Al, Ray, and you have all posted the obvious differences. I hadn't really paid attention to the Mt Airy BID because the only information that I had seen came from West's Public Record polemic. I generally trust the man in the moon more than the Public Record at this point. Let me drive Melani, West and the real conspiracy gang crazy.

My name is Guy Laren. I think that I did not intend to fool anyone and that not-signing was simply an oversight. I've made the mistake before and I'll try not to make it again. However, I was disappointed that the primary focus of your response to me was to address my lack of a signature and the deeper character flaws that it implied. I'll re-read my post to see whether the other features in my post were so unworthy to not merit a response from you. Thank you Mr Ellington for coming to my defense, but I'll listen to Mr West's advise and go back to lurking. Mr West, Thanks again for the diamond ring. It was the perfect size and color.
