Sideliner, Soccer Watcher and Roadster, collectively, I think you have all said it best.

Maybe Christi Arnold's substance-free letter was written that way on purpose. Maybe she wrote it because she was told to, but did such a poor job with it as a way to revolt in her own little way. I know, that sounds kinda over the top, but who knows...it could happen. Politics are definitely getting in the way, though. We sure could use John Wayne's help on this one!
