[RP TownTalk] Rate the Performance of Town Leadership

[bob smith]

Pardon me, Miss Melissa,
Did you mean this note to me? Are you sure?
If you did I believe you have me confused with someone else.
I have never to my knowledge addressed a note directly to you.
I do not know that I have ever said a nasty or condescending word to you 
or any words about you.
I will review all my email to the list and advise IF I find something 
that I construe as nasty.

If you are certain that you meant the words below for me, I must ask if 
you are conducting research for
some paper, are you?

This is the town talk list, I have asked questions, I have made a few 
comments, the one below
was in response to a question from Jonathan to the town talk list at 
large and as I said, the note represents only
my opinion based on observation, interaction with members of the council 
and reading notes.
