i got the same response

Me too.

Dear Mr. Brindley, etc. etc.

I didn't....or haven't yet.

Probably written by his secretary and sent out as a mass reply.

Not yet unless my mailbox detected it as garbage.

Gee, a whole form letter! I didn't even get that much.

I got the same response. Too late in my opinion.

the damage may very well have already been done.

Guess they had to wait for someone in IT to write a script to auto-reply the form letter to all of the emails with a certain set of keywords.

Some of us malcontents may not even get that...............LOL

I'm more disappointed in Mackin.

It is possible that some of the first emails weren't kept & were trashed.

I didn't send anything to the second email. I figured that was just an attempt to easily filter his email and not deal with it. I wanted him to have to go through my email to get to any other business that he wanted to tend to.

Maybe that's the reason I didn't get the form reply.

I'm resigned to not having to hear from the backstabber, his words are without merit or truth, until something he says or does has a lasting and progressive impact, for all I care, he can go play street hockey on I-459...during rush hour...at sundown...If he closes our football program down or alters/dumbs it down in any unfavorable way, my reply is waiting in the wings...then I'm done with him and them...Pardon my pessimism, but what has optimism gotten our football program with all of this bureaucratic bull**** being dumped on them year after year? They're deliberately tampering with and sabotaging it and no one in position to do something in this state can or will do anything to put them in check, because of who that tyrant's daddy was. They're like the (bleeping) Mafia!

Matrix I'm with you buddy. My frustration level just keeps climbing.

Just got the exact same reply.

What a waste of electrons.
