I do believe that the deconstruction of my previous post will only give additional life to a thread started with an "unsubstantiated accusation and innuendo."<br><br>I was responding only to Chris Currie's opening statement "Beware the 'bait and switch.'" The characterization of actions by Cafritz that have not occurred, and that there is no evidence will occur, as a disreputable sales tactic is, in my opinion, indicative of an "underlying distrust of successful businessmen."<br><br>For those that overlooked it, in response Chris Currie graciously posted on this forum:<br><br>"Lou, I apologize for my poor choice of words in opening my post yesterday (I blame my day job as a marketing consultant for my reflexive tendency to use provocative opening lines). I didn't mean to imply that Cafritz is planning to bring in a different tenant -- although I can easily see why the use of the term 'bait and switch' left that impression.<br><br>"I'm sure both
Cafritz and Whole Foods desire to bring their agreement (a lease, according to Alan, not a letter of intent or MOU) to fruition."<br><br>Lou<br>O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop HTML mail - <a target="_blank" href="http://www.asciiribbon.org">www.asciiribbon.org</a><br><br>Melissa Avery wrote, On 4/17/2012 9:24 AM:<br>> Why do you characterize opposition to this development as"underlying<br>> distrust of successful businessmen"?<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TownTalk mailing list<br>To post to the list, send mail to <a ymailto="mailto:TownTalk@riverdale-park.org" href="mailto:TownTalk@riverdale-park.org">TownTalk@riverdale-park.org</a><br><a ymailto="mailto:TownTalk-request@riverdale-park.org" href="mailto:TownTalk-request@riverdale-park.org">TownTalk-request@riverdale-park.org</a> is for automated subscription processing only<br>http://riverdale-park.org/mailman/listinfo/towntalk<br><br>For more information about
