Took a bit before I decided to say a bit more here John.
For all, any of you guys my age and older, ever do time in the army in Viet Nam? That should say a few things right there about the man. Not putting down any military service, but that was the beginning of some warfare styles, chemicals, and situations that few of our people had ever experienced before.
Ever travel in areas with a high concentration of Scandanavians? The accent is unmistakable. And carrys on for generations. But, regardless of his nationality, he claims only to be "American".
There are others here who know Len. I have only had internet contact. He is indeed difficult to decipher at times. But he is worthy of respect without the ridicule. As far as I am concerned, he writes better than some of the guys here who speak perfect English, American style that is. This is, afterall, an inter-national forum. We struggle with asians, europeans, mexicans, and many others. Some even use language translators to try and better communicate with them. Let's show Len some tolerance as well.
When you get the degrees, certifications, publications, and patents that Len has gotten, maybe then you can take some shots at him. But hopefully this country, and this forum, will never come to the point where we put down people we don't understand clearly when they are going through some hard times.
Oh, he does know the mayor by name and face and has been in his presence 100's of times. So, if he is sure it was the mayor, it probably was. The rest of the situation is rather hard to figure out. I personally am hoping he will get cleared and be back at his job in no time.
Best wishes Len.
Have a Great Day, Brent
Thanks for that update Brent. Len's posts are hard to dicipher sometimes, and it appears that he wrote this very quickly and without trying to give out too much information about the situation he found himself in. 
No disrespect Stinger but, just what are you saying??? Also, have you ever lived in New York? I await your response.
