Comments Anyone?

On September 14, 2007, on the suggestion of an anonymous comment, I posted an article called "Comments Anyone?" ( Go back through the archives and read it again.) I asked the residents to post a comment on anything that happened to be on their minds. The first comment came in the next day, and for the next 2 months, til November 11, twenty-one comments were attached to that post.

Without a doubt, that was the most popular article ever posted on this blog. Thank you Anonymous, for that suggestion. Many lurkers came out in the open on that one, and comments from the pool, to the gate, to the blog itself were addressed.

I think we have even more lurkers now. A lurker is a person who is content reading every day what is written on any blog, not just this one, but who feels no compulsion to ever write a comment.

There have been some weeks when I have contemplated closing this blog due to apathy. Then I installed the counter. Low and behold! There are readers out there!

I am once again appealing to everyone to make a comment on anything that happens to be on your mind. Important things are happening here in Regency Cove. Many of the Board members and candidates are actually reading this thing every day, and your thoughts will be noticed. The elections in 11 days are an important topic. Outgoing Board members need to be acknowledged. Endorsements for new Board members are welcome. Seawall issues will continue for a long time. Let's hear what's on your mind.

I would like to make a comment about Saturday's shareholders meeting. When Bob Simmons got up to talk and was telling Ron Herb about letters he had about the rent increase going for the seawall and it was told to us that the increase was going in the general fund. I got the same letter and it said the rent increase was going for the seawall.Ron got upset with Bob and made a comment Have your lawyer send another letter. How does the board expect people to get along here when we have a board member talking like this.

Unfortunately our Board has operated in this arrogant and disrespectful way to the members of our community for too many years and it appears to be the same for the new Board.
