Let me get this straight, you want me to take at face value, the accuracy and completeness of a virtual petition posted on the internet??? Please - I'm not that naive.

In addition to taking the Internet at face value being a low-payoff bet; nowhere in my post did I mention the library's finances either.

Please read again all of what I wrote. I didn't focus on finances. I raised the notion that telling someone they are wrong isn't the only way to react to an incompletely described situation like this; and I focused on ensuring interested young women's needs would be met.
