Joe,<br><br>I've often asked why there isn't more CC participation on this list (I believe this used to be a source of vexation for Michael as well), and have been given two different metaphors by different people.<br><br>
One is that certain people on the list are like tar babies. The other is that when you participate in a food fight there aren't winners and losers, just people covered with food.<br><br>Speaking of metaphors, I know it's bad manners to get invited to a party and then diss the conversation / decor / host, but I crashed this party and so did all of you, so hence my signature. =)

You both were kind and quite entertaining. It appears you have a pretty good outlook on what goes on around here.
</div> <div>Thank you for the heads up on this site.</div> <div> </div> <div>Mr. Metzler, you're a quite inquisitive chap. There is no reason to be confused about me. Only a fool would hop onto this site occasionally and miss all that is written about Christ Church. So yes, I'm a bit aware of the craziness that goes on. What I didn't know was that a neighbor, like myself, would not be able to post some thoughts about a fellow business man in town without being raked over the coals about who I know. As far as my connection to those who attend Christ Church, I'm most certain I associate with them on a daily basis. This town is small, that Church is not. I don't live in a hole.
</div> <div> </div> <div>It does appear that stepping up with some strong positive words about Mr.
Hoffman has only made the uptight even more so. I suppose it's good people have something to talk about, even if fictional.</div> <div> </div> <div>Again, interesting.</div> <div>Joe</div> <div> </div> <div>p.s. I'm with you, Mr. Decker, I think I'm done with this. This site could really mess with your mind.
