I think to weigh in once in a while in the HD discussion when you don't live in the area is fine, especially when it is noted in the email. But to be constantly in the thick of the disagreement (which several are) when the change is not in your area is divisive. Which ever way it goes, I think it would be great to allow Spruce Hill to figure this thing out for themselves.
