INC NEWS - dirt streets to be paved

 Since you know everyone appreciates your effort in making their  emails 
shorter and more concise, I'll perform the same service and translate  what you've 
just said below.

Basically you said, "No Bill, I'm not going to simply forward the original  
emails from city staff and others.
Everyone besides you appreciates me censoring their information. That way  
they don't get muddled in details the way you have. And if you don't like it,  
don't say so in this public forum, contact me off line."

 And from now on, anyone wanting the short version of what Randy has  to say, 
just come to me and I'll fill you in.

 Maybe you're right, Randy, perhaps I'm the only one who DOES NOT  APPRECIATE 
YOU DECIDING WHAT INFORMATION I RECIEVE . And if brevity is the main  
objective, and the public really does want someone to cull their information, I  
doubt either one of us is ideal for that job.

I haven't forgotten what a public forum this list used to be, but it sure  
has been quiet lately. It only takes a heavy handed listserv moderator to turn a 
 public forum into one man's private domain.

The  entire email was not pertinent to the subjected post. That is why it
was  parsed. Perhaps you would have liked all of the pages, but I doubt
that  anyone would have enjoyed having their mailboxes packed with  more
irrelevant information.  A recent example was an email from  another
Director from another City department. She told us in advance of an  email
that it was 14 meg of material and if we wanted it, she'd send it by  snail
mail. I appreciated the fact that she was concerned, as well as she  should
have been, that emails of that size would clog most email programs.  In
fact, the list server has a cap on the size of any post because of  this
issue. So when you see something broken down into only the relevant  parts,
understand that it was done so for a reason. Not that it was  filtered or
"all" of the irrelevant information was not included. I think  this is
generally understood and appreciated by most. Certainly the more  concise
an email is, the easier it is read and followed.

So just to  respond to your concerns, "her" is Julie Brenmen, the head of
Budget and  Finance and the person who heads up CCIP. If you even know what
CCIP is and  does, then "her" was known as well. Neither of these pieces of
information  were really relevant. The post related to dirt street
improvements. The  message in the post was more important to those who
wanted this information  than the details you wonder about. In fact, if you
follow the work done by  our City Council, this is old news as they have
already dealt with this  issue. But it wasn't widely distributed. Most
neighborhoods with this issue  are well aware of what the plans are for
paving and improving our miles of  gravel roads in this City. Some may not
be, and for those that  it is  not an issue, it was all irrelevant anyway.

It's about getting  information out there, not the picky irrelevant details
you regularly get  muddled in. Complaints are better dealt with off this
list. It just wastes  others time and mailbox space.
