Chris,

I might have missed some posts on this topic, but
from what I have read, there is still room for
an explanation that does not involve fraud.  Silence
may be worrisome, but does not equate with fraud
in my view.

I agree with you about personal responsibility
for a functional community.  It is in that spirit
that I am speaking up.
