They were implying that they had insight which they couldn't have had.
   
2. "My question is, who "controls" the AAC? As I understand it, they are a separate entity. Or are you saying that the POA has the ability to direct the AAC's actions?" Not at all. The POA is a separate organization.
   
3. "Where does the AAC get its funding?" As you probably know, the AAC gets its funding from the lawsuit the POA raised.
   
4. "So you are saying that the POA, by not opposing the AAC's position, should get all the blame for nothing being done....and not the VHA or developer?" How on earth did you deduce that? The VHA or Developer has not been involved, to my knowledge.
   
5. "Help me out here and explain why you haven't taken the VHA to task....for not addressing it either?" My post was directed to the POA response in their newsletter. I have no issue with the VHA or the Developer. My post was specifically directed to the POA Editorial response.
   
6. "Or is it because there is still animosity, that the AAC was formed as a result of the Lawsuit Settlement in early 2008 (in which the developer obviously lost)?" There, I was pretty sure you were asking questions to which you already knew the answer. Why?
   
7. "Since we haven't heard any comments about the VHA's role in this....how do you feel about them?" The VHA? They serve a purpose, too.
   
8. "You mentioned above that you "don't have a dog in this fight," but it really seems that your intention is to lay the blame of the AAC's inaction...solely on the shoulders of the POA." How could you possibly conclude that from what I've said. I think the POA has been duped, but the inaction is that of the AAC.

Thanks for your post. I hope my response has cleared up my purpose for posting.

Yes, your answers certainly validated my original observations.

May I suggest that in the future, you make the effort to put the other persons responses in quotes (like I did) or even put yours in a different color if you don't know how to quote...so that it is easier for other folks to follow?

Thanks.
