Yeah..and I have been told everything dies the death of a thousand stab wounds on this listserv! ;-) S -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 8:09 AM To: UnivCity@list.purple.com Subject: Re: [UC] BIDs in the news - Why Stop Savaging John In a message dated 7/19/2007 7:37:24 A.M.

Thanks for speaking up, SAli. Several things should be are apparent through inference and observing industry standard patterns of behavior. 1) The continuing payout of John's, reported in the press, severance package is predicated upon his non-disclosure of any matter associated with his employment with UCD. Even matters where he might contend they have libeled him, would need to be contested in a court of law, not the court of public opinion. 2) Philadelphia's summers of slow political news means even the usual sharp minds of our political reporters become undisciplined as they find it necessary to spin unpersuasive arguments to create better work product acceptance. 3) Some guys will gladly become UCD water-boys to get premium seating for the next Big Philly O concert in the Bowl. I fear, locally, some people find a morose satisfaction in savaging John and his family, while attempting to save their presumed self-serving beneficence of the decrepit UCD/NID model of operation. Ciao, Craig
