So why did the list of community supporters disappear from CUEE’s website? After a most educational meeting this evening so peculiar only Lemony Snicket could really write it up properly (more on that later), I found the answer to that question.

First I asked Lee Henderson, who was on that list. He admitted he knew, but he wouldn’t say. He suggested I talk to CUEE.

Tom Kurrie walked up at that point, and I asked Henderson if Kurrie was CUEE. Henderson said I would know that better than he would, which caused me to refer to Black Crow’s Mr. Henderson as very modest and humble.

Tom Kurrie remarked that he always saw me with a camera, and at a previous event I’d asked him what was in unification for him. He reminded me he’d answered there was nothing in it for him, and I observed that was a good answer. Anyway, I asked CUEE Board Member Mr. Thompson Kurrie, Jr. what went with the list of supporters. He allowed as how he didn’t really visit the web site very often, since he wasn’t good with computers.

So I asked who would know? He said that fellow over there at the table with the sign-in sheet, Daniel Storey.

So I went and asked Daniel Storey. He said yes, he did know. Someone else used to take care of the website before he started recently. (The VDT wrote 14 September 2011 that CUEE campaign manager Daniel Storey was hired “recently”.)

OK, so what does that have to do with the missing list? He said so many people called in asking to be taken off it that he took the list down. I asked him if he recalled who had called in. He said with a grin that his memory failed him on that. I confirmed his name was indeed Daniel Storey.

So that’s why: too many people didn’t want to be listed as CUEE supporters.

I have related this shaggy dog story in some detail so as to indicate that they also seem somewhat bashful about admitting the reason.
