To the Editor:

Two lots came off the Hagen plat because of a badly written 8 and I want to be honest in public about my reaction, which was to laugh out loud in my kitchen for the better part of a minute.

I opposed this plat at eighteen and I oppose it at sixteen and I said so in this space a week ago, so nobody can accuse me of having changed my position for two lots I did not ask for. What I will say is that the buffer condition and the single shoreline plan are worth more to that bay than any lot count, and those came out of a real argument that real people made at a real meeting, and not out of anybody's penmanship.

So I will take the sixteen and I will not pretend it was a victory, because it was a typing error, and a person who claims a typing error as a victory has run out of arguments.

I still want to know how many docks. Nobody has said a number. I have now asked three times.
