[sudo-discuss] 2141 Broadway Co-Op?

Tue Oct 1 16:05:56 PDT 2013

All that myself and others have asked of you is that you provide a bit
more detailed information about the discussion you had while terminating
the lease. Your name was on the lease, I believe you have every right to
terminate the lease in order to remove your name. What I cannot
understand is why you consider questions regarding the discussion you
had off topic or offensive.

I'm confused as to how we're supposed to continue onto the work we have
cut out for us without knowing the details and expectations surrounding
the termination of our lease. I was not asking "why" did this happen, I
was (am) asking "what" happened.

I am removing myself from any further discussion regarding the 2141
location on this mailing list, apologies to those who's feelings were hurt.
