<DIV><B><FONT face=System>Hello yourself. I really don't think that Ms. Woolf
requires much defending seeing as my attack was so subtle that even I somehow
missed it. I have to admit that I did not pick up on the parody untill after I
replied to her post. I assume it's a real rib tickler for folks such as
yourselves but taken at face value (as I did when replying) it's mearly tedious
and mildly disparaging. As satire, to me it's meaningless.</FONT></B></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=System>"Stinkfully arrogant" is a wonderfull phrase but
I'm afraid it to holds no meaning for me with regard to this matter. I detected
no neener- neener's after the BOA meeting and with a CUP there is no "zoning
violation." Not that there ever was, in my lowly opinion.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=System></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=System>As to the parking issue, I have gone over, under,
and around this matter so many times I can't bring myself to do it again tonight
except to say that I'm sure it's easier on ones ego to blame a specious parking
problem for ones failure then to look it in the eye. If you think that parking
had anything to do with any of this nonsence then I'm afraid that you have
missed the point.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Hello again. Im writing
to address your criticism of J Ford (copied below); I wish to primarily defend
her, and only secondarily address what appear to be misconceptions on your
part. This letter, as I believe you know, was a play on Atwoods original
letter; but Atwoods original letter was directed at what J Ford would
probably consider innocent parties, or at least not worthy of the sort of
letter they received. And so, the play on words here does not assume that this
letter would be fully true if it was in fact literally intended; it is
centrally, as I take it, how does it feel back at you. In this
respect, if you didnt favor the original letter then you would have the
freedom to enjoy this playful satire regardless of what the city comes up with
on parking statistics and regardless of whether or not NSA could justly and
wisely be kicked off the block anytime soon. Whether or not NSA is stinkfully
arrogant about any response to their code violation will not be decided on the
basis of parking statistics; so it seems you may have missed the point of this
posting series. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">But even taken literally,
the letter focuses just on the parking issue, which you grant was the central
focus of concern. The fact that the concern was so focused suggests that
this is not necessarily some conspiracy, but rather a couple business owners
who claim to be losing hundreds of thousands of dollars do to the parking
issueas I understand it anyway.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Ms.Woolf, It was a
pleasure to meet you at the meeting Tuesday night. As one of the most
vocal (at least on this forum) detractors of NSA, I was very surprised that
you didn't take the opportunity to educate the BOA as to the evils of the NSA.
You complain that the board doesn't listen to the people and yet you gave them
nothing to hear. The overwhelming majority of the testimony that they did hear
was in favor of the collage remaining right where they are. The few detractors
that did speak could only muster the parking issue as the reason for a
denial. An issue that has been shown to be a false since the school uses no
more parking than any other potential user of that property. This is not just
my biased contention, but the result of statistics provided by the city staff.
What outcome did you expect the board to produce with that kind of input? I've
got to assume that if a better argument could have been concocted, it would
have been brought forward. It wasn't.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">With regard to the
whimsical letter that you thoughtfully reproduce for us here on the V. I would
find it far more persuasive, informative, and entertaining if it had some
actual signatures attached, and would be happier if, as a downtown merchant
mine, by implication, wasn't.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
