I agree you do a great job of moderating, D.M. No wonder you won an award. Just when the digs were feeling a bit sharp, you came to my rescue! I didn’t even have to send an email. (Hadn’t thought of that; got to remember that technique for the future.) Thanks for helping a lady in distress. I guess I’ll stay in town after all.

DM–I see your point–always have, but the issue I have is thin-skinned people who want to broadcast their always-precious opinions but not want to hear an opposing view, or even a way off the mark dig. Yes, a “dig” is good way to put it. Keep walking the line, sir. Cheers.

Please refer to Nelliebelle’s pictures of flooding on Oakview!

I have yet to see a CSD school field that doesn’t have water problems, except the new DHS stadium. As I’ve said before in a post, selection of the original school sites must have ranked “tendency of ground to get wet and muddy” very high. Maybe it’s because that was the land left that wasn’t already zoned for residential construction?

DM – not an easy task and you do it well.

It’s certainly shades of gray Gibbs. I don’t pretend like this is a science by any means.

And for every person that finds little personal “digs” (can we agree to call it that?) entertaining, there’s someone who’s completely turned off by that sort of thing. I have the emails to prove it.

So I walk the line.
