RE: Palouse Mall landscaping

["Shahab Mesbah" <meteor2@moscow.com>]

Dear Clint,

Thanks for asking. I refer to you all as friends because I feel that we are
ultimately trying to achieve the same goals. We are all here to better our
community. We may have differing opinions and methodology but our heart is
in the same place (most of the time). I consider you all my friends even
though some times some of you find it necessary to be offensive. To me the
enemy is apathy, dishonesty, gluttony, and those who show these attributes.

I am not sure what you mean by: " And you always talk of your concerns about
ordnance.  Then you suggest a demonstration.  Does the FBI monitor this
list?" it is probably my lack of mastery of English but could you rephrase
it or explain what you mean? I would be happy to reply.

Your brother in arms,

Shahab...

Shahab,

Your use of the phrase "the friends" over and over gives me the feeling
you are addressing a cult.  And you always talk of your concerns
about ordnance.  Then you suggest a demonstration.  Does the FBI monitor
this list?
