If it looks like a duck ...

The web site at www.phoenixville.org has the Borough seal and the Borough letterhead. The domain name is registered to the Borough.

But, the site's webmaster tells us in his special note and several postings that it's "unofficial" and that he runs it as a favor, that he sort of just posts whatever he gets, and that he takes his directions from Borough Council Members and other people whom he does not identify. This is all part of his explanation for what's on (or not on) the site.

OK. If it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's.... a mongoose?

In Phoenixville, it's a mongoose -- that is, until someone in a position of "authority" tells you it's a turtle, then someone else decides it's a platypus. And then, of course, when you look up its photo in an animal dictionary, everyone suddenly has a case of amnesia.
