<p>I’m not sure where you see hostility. Personally I’d be more inclined to respond in the manner you suggest to a post like yours which adds zero value to the board. </p>
<p>I disagreed about a variety of things - as did counselorandmom - by offering facts for general consumption and suggestions for her bored daughter. Its kind of obvious that her daughter had her heart set on Boston and a school that competes in big time athletics and that has colored her outlook. That’s fine. She has every right to share her freshman daughter’s feelings here. Though I’m not sure how it is that you weren’t sharp enough to pick up on that yet seem to possess the magical ability to divine some sort of nefarious motives on our part in responding.</p>
