We can have some fun and possibly a mutually learn from this experience. They can accumulate some questions to me, I will respond if they are in good taste .I'm willing to take the blogger chance with this less than friendly crowd toward me. Possibly, they can get to know my management style (dissagree or not). I've come to believe Bristol is a great city with much future( potential route 72 expansion), versus the many stagnant city's of Connecticut. Now then , if your bloggers get ugly, personal and disrespectful Steve, then it's lights out for me responding to them. Why bother. I'd rather mow my beautiful lawn that I have put time and expense into. If they are respectful it could be a fun experience for all. Hopefully. I do respect decent. So, to repeat, it's a lunar-"tic" cycle for me to respond to your bloggers.. Of course...'anonymous' qoutes to me in the mean time equals "school yard cowards" in my book and will probably get a limited response if not no response from me. So...28 days from now you may or may not see me comment from home on here, commenting for 'my' sole entertainment, not theirs.
