>>>What is going on with you? A message like this made me actually go read the post, expecting something so glaring it would cause the first writing critique of an announcement of this type I've seen on UT. (the the "whoever he is" implies anybody who is starting a user group in NY in BI should be someone in your rolodex ???)

>>>Characterizing that message as "bizarrely miswritten" seems to me a bit bizarre in itself. Seriously, Mike, are you drinking? This kind of belligerence coming out of the blue is not a good sign.

>>No, I am not drinking. Not going to get into it with you because you have been a good friend to me in the past.

Intended only to convey clearly information about an even?
