Mr. McDaid, I hope this reaches you, but as a new user of the Portsmouth Patch, I'm not confident that it will. I recently read the article on the turbine and your erudite response. I can understand your frustration. Thank you for your work and your respectful manner. I found your final response in that discussion quite interesting although I don't know what to call it. It isn't quite an adianoeta or double entendre, is it? I like the idea that the movement of the turbine is a demonstration of the choice of the council, where the other gentlemen believed that since the company had gone out of business it was "proof" of poor decision making. Simultaneously, you've evoked Galilei's frustration at similiar arguments and accusations. Best wishes, Dave Lavery
