Ross,

I am sorry but we do have secret rules. Many of them. They are chiefly secret 
because we forgot where we put them and are trying to find them.

I am unfortunately out of the Black Fungus of Persia at the moment because I 
blew my fungus money on mailing 400 copies of the newsletter instead, so park 
planning aficionados could get their fix on time, and I haven't gotten 
reimbursed yet.

We are currently considering a proposal to change the name of Clark Park to 
"Lincoln Financial Park." We are not at liberty to disclose the name of the 
other party to the negotiations at this time. But the resulting revenue, we 
feel, could fund a continuous flow of information about the Recreation Dept.'s 
capital improvement plans into every household in University City, three days a 
week, whether they like it or not. If they don't have a computer and don't read 
the paper and are too feeble to visit the park's bulletin board, we'll tape 
planning documents to a brick and heave the brick through their window. As 
often as it takes.

But bricks are expensive, so we're going to need corporate backing. I think 
it's worth it, though, because nothing in life is more important than park 
planning.

  DUDE!!! Don't start telling me you really do have SECRET RULES that you don't 
publish in the bylaws. I mean, those bylaws are so bleeping detailed (9 pages) 
that if there really is a UC Review Rule why isn't it even hinted at???? Are 
you messing with my mind or what? 

  Now who's smoking the Black Fungus of Persia???????

  Exasperated,
