Thanks John, and to all the other responders both on and off-list, positive
and negative.

You're right John, I was not trying to slam anyone - I apologize if it
sounded that way. My question was simply find out if this was a single
mistake, or a pervasive issue. I didn't have any information to go on before
asking the question.

I do think it is perfectly acceptable to bring �business� dealings (not
�personal business," as has been suggested) to a public forum as a method to
poll the public as to the efficiency of public-serving entity.

I now have the information I need to make my own decision, so it is probably
best to cut off the comments on this subject so it doesn't turn into
mudslinging.

Thanks,

Ben
