What makes you think it is a typo?

  My   favorite memo:
   
  "A   group of high school students will be eaten at Wallace Cafeteria at   12:30."
   
  To   which I replied, "Shall we serve them with barbecue sauce or a more upscale   lemon cream sauce?"

    This complaint list only people from Christ Church or Trinity. I       graduated
from U of I and I can't tell you how many people I new that       boarded with a
family that went to U of I (especially exchanged       students). Every city I
have ever lived in I new of some one boarding       with a family. This is not out
of the ordinary. Don you are doing a good       job making us look like the
friendly neighbor and the Intoleristas a       little more intolerant. Keep up
the good work soldier! Cheers!

You graduated from the U of I and     you spell like this? Go back, young man, go back! You seem to have slept     through some classes.

As Omie Drawhorn noted in her April 11th Daily     News article, Moscow City Code allows for one -- ONE -- boarder in a     single-family residence. The owner of the house must apply for and receive a     conditional use permit, first proving that there is adequate parking and that     the addition of ONE boarder "will not disrupt the character of the     neighborhood." Moscow code does not allow for multiple boarders in a single     family home, period. Every city you've ever lived in doesn't come into this     argument, Gabe; this isn't London, Beijing, or Timbuktu. The only zoning     ordinance that applies here is Moscow zoning ordinance, and, quelle surprise,     Doug Wilson and his followers are once again in consistent and deliberate     violation of that ordinance. The pattern here is not one of religious     persecution, no matter how hard you try to spin this pathetic fallacy. The     pattern is that Christ Church and its affiliates believe that they are above    
 the law, hence the perpetual demands for special treatment and the insistence     on a blind eye in enforcement. 

Is there not one, single, solitary     thing that you can and will do by the secular book? Must you jump in line,     thumb your noses, and cut corners everywhere? You call us intolerant; I call     you obnoxious. All you need to do is obey the same laws as the rest of us.     That's it. No one wants to run you out of town; we simply ask that you respect     the same laws that we are obliged to respect, the laws that make it possible     for us all to be good neighbors. You are not good neighbors. Good neighbors     don't cram their houses full of transient students, trampling on the lawns,     the patience, and the good will of those who live around them. Good neighbors     don't take up retail parking to which they are not entitled and for which they     pay no taxes. Good neighbors make an effort to play by the rules; they don't     shriek religious persecution when the rules they've chosen to ignore are     finally enforced. Good neighbors don't demand that the goal
 posts be moved     because they've failed to score the extra point. 

Just for the record,     Gabe and others, when Chris Schlect of New St. Andrews was told by the city in     the year 2000 that New St. Andrews could not continue to operate out of his     living room, the city also made mention of the fact that if NSA wanted to run     student boarding houses, they would need to apply for conditional use permits.     NSA has had six years to get its house(s) in order. Clearly, they have chosen     not to. Why the pretense that these assorted zoning complaints are a bolt from     the blue? I'm sorry to say you asked for it, but you asked for it.

PS: Hands up all who pay     taxes on their lavish boarding house incomes?
PPS: Someone probably ought     to look into that, but it won't be this good   soldier.
