Wait a minute. I just read one of his other email pranks. It matches what a board member posted recently about messing with their landlord concerning dogs in their apartment that are not allowed.

 

Either:

 

1) David Thorne is a forum member.

 

or

 

2) Someone needed attention and copied the story straight off the site.

As an architect I found this refreshingly amusing...I was able to astral-project myself into David Thorne's position and send the same responses to some of our clients...too bad I can't really do it in real-life and must kiss azz and grovel instead...
