Nah...correct that. A critical public posting is NOT the best first step. The last step maybe, but certainly not until a lot of other resources have proven unresponsive.

Posting here, or speaking publicly is a great way to get things accomplished. That's what this is all about, a public forum with muscle. This forum gives people leverage that they otherwise wouldn't have. It sounds to me like the poster has a legitimate concern and got no action from the person with whom she/he has direct contact. Not everybody has the same high level of assertiveness and we wish to give each resident a level field upon which to play.
This forum is not a last resort, it is a first resort. That's why our advertisers place their ads here. They want to reach customers now. We don't want them to consider us only after all other methods have failed.
We will never discourage people from posting here, be it their first or one hundred and first post.
