Hi All,
Early in the morning of December 30, 2007 your BLOGMEISTER “gave birth” to this, BLOG. It was designed from the outset for the Unit Owners of Century Village. The very first post lay out why this BLOG was necessary. An extract from that Post follows:

WHY WAS THIS BLOG CREATED
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” ~John 8:32
Hi All,
With the latest CV Forum guidelines, I believe that the Forum has been reduced to a Bulletin Board for Fluff and Papp rather than substantive inquiry. It should be allowed to experience the ignominious demise it deserves.
---
Researched data is regularly referred to as "opinion" by the Forum Managers.
---
No criticism of the current Administration is tolerated even if it might be well deserved. Worse yet, UCO is presented as the only valid source of the "Full Facts" and the "Real Truth"! Simply ludicrous.
No controversial issues are entertained. Any non-compliant post is summarily deleted and declared "inappropriate"…..Etc….!!
------
Our BLOG gained acceptance slowly; but has achieved some degree of acceptance and usage by our Unit Owners.
Following are some statistics as to usage of the BLOG since inception:
---
Number of posts: 1087
---
Number of Unique visitors: 5,517
---
Number of visits: 60,091
---
Number of pages viewed: 147,783
---
60,091 visits came from 77 countries/territories

We have managed all of this with no one being banned and very few postings deleted; these deletions were beyond the pale as to decency, or consisted of SPAM, and are well below one, one hundredth of one percent of entries made.
With your help we will continue to grow and hopefully provide more useful information to our Unit Owners.

Happy and healthy New Year to you all

brain that never quits
giving out info.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU.

name on the wooden plaque
honoring all past Pres.

Hi Nutmegger

Thanks, for the kind words.
No, I am not a member of the CVCC nor have I ever been.
So, clearly I have never been President of the Club.
