It is amazing how long this has been happening. I wonder if the original welcome to Lakeshore was part of a set up and Bain was lying through his teeth even at that early date. Why would I not consider that a possibility? I've seen nothing that tells me differently. Did somebody get to Bain before or just after the initial "welcome" where the wonderful speeches were made and everyone was so enthusiastic? If so who was that somebody or somebodies perhaps?
