\nHowdy,\n

\nTiny LAKE is flattered to be asked to repost VDT materials for mighty VLCIA!\nBut to answer your question, this is a blog, not a newspaper,\nnor a wire service for a newspaper. LAKE also hasn’t\nposted all of the letters to the editor of the VDT pro and\ncon on this subject or others of interest to us.\n

\nMore basically, you seem to continue to confuse “VLCIA answered”\nwith “the answers satisfied the questioners” or “the answers\nactually addressed the content of the questions” or\n“nobody is questioning anymore”.\n

\nQuestions continued to be asked\n\nat the VLCIA “Forum” of 6 Dec 2010<\/a>.\nI ask again:\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\nwhen will VLCIA publish the tax-funded videos the city\nof Valdosta videographer took at that event, now more than a month ago?\nWhy is it that a tiny volunteer-only activist group, LAKE, can do that\nwhile the 1-mil-tax-funded VLCIA cannot?\n

\nQuestions continued to you in email, many of which have since\n\nbeen published in the VDT.<\/a>\n

\nQuestions continued after that very speech you gave at the\nFirst Presbyterian Church that you say\n\nyou are so proud of.<\/a>\nWe have videos of those, as well as of your complete talk.\n

\nIn general, LAKE has published far more material about VLCIA’s\nactivities, including\n\nalmost the entire recent VLCIA board meeting<\/a>\nthan any other entity recently, including VLCIA itself.\nWe will continue to do so, along with many other topics\nthat are of at least equal interest to us.\n

\nIf that particular VDT editorial is of interest to VLCIA,\nwhy not post it on VLCIA’s own\n\nIn The News<\/a> page?\nOr on VLCIA’s own facebook page, which was last updated November 15, 2010?\n

\nBack in December\n\nyou wrote:<\/a>\n

\nThanks for your offer to find a web developer for us, but I am content\nwith the job our staff and current provider are doing at this time.\n<\/blockquote>\nHave they just been occupied with somebody else’s web pages,\nor do you think\n\nthe tax-funded items I suggested back in December that VLCIA\npublish on its own web site<\/a>\nare not of interest to the public?\n

\nI do congratulate VLCIA on finally posting\n\na board meeting schedule for 2011.<\/a>\n

\nWill you be adding a picture for Tom Call soon\nto the \nVLCIA Staff and Board web page<\/a>,\nor should we\n\ncontinue to use the one we found somewhere else?<\/a>\n

\nGood morning John:\n

\nI was scanning the LAKE blog last night and saw a number of references to\neditorials and articles from the VDT. I may have missed it, and if so, I\napologize, but I was curious why the following link never appeared on the\nblog. This of course, was the most recent editorial where the VDT went on\nrecord stating that all of their biomass concerns had now been answered.\nWas this an oversight, or was it left off intentionally? It seems to answer\nsome lingering questions regarding sludge, investors, etc and it would\nprobably be beneficial for folks to read. Thanks for your response.\n
