>>I thought the announcement of the meeting was really, really badly written. It's as simple as that. I could have kept my mouth shut, which probably would have been the wiser move, Things have been bearing down on me lately like bricks and maybe I took it out on that message.

I'm guessing something like "There's somethin' happnin' and all us here writin' and readin' this here postin' stuff or whatever don't know what, and boy, if you ain't acquainted with my wonderful self, you sure are missing something!"
