Maybe it's to low of an offer in most cases being only 100% of the 2014 assessed value this time around,jmo. We are hoping those possible rejections or non replies may leave a negotiation window open for us as we try to move forward in this process."
That really says quite a lot. What's the priority, money or a perceived threat to health?
Tom, I'm beginning to believe that it's neither. I think our friend gypsy is a drama queen - why all these trolling posts on whatever happens to be the topic of the day? The persistent milking of the ROD and trying to tie it to geothermal? Attending the TMT hearing and claiming to have spoken with some old folks opposed to the telescope? His son going to University of Princeton? (for those unfamiliar with east coast schools, there is no such institution: there is a Princeton University, but in more than 50 years of familiarity with that school, I've never heard it referred to as the University of Princeton. To claim that your child is attending Princeton on a full ride and you don't even know its proper name, defies belief..).
What I haven't yet figured out is whether gyp is a very, very clever PhD candidate in socio-political science who's playing Puna Web like a cheap ukulele to produce a dissertation, of if he (she?) is a seriously benighted, neurotic individual who lives for the attention (s)he gets from posts on this and maybe a host of other forums.
In either case, I'm betting that, in this episode of the soap opera, (s)he won't take the county offer, either because there isn't one, or because (s)he couldn't possibly give up the attention/dissertation fodder that these posts bring.
Post Script: "Community Reactions to an Evolving Technological and Cultural Environment: A Spectral Analysis of Online Forum Postings" would make a great title for a dissertation....
