   I've long argued that legal actions involving architects 
   should be made public. In that vein I offer one below 
   about me that's just been received (my first in 26 
   years). 
 
   You bet I'm red-faced, but open information on these 
   investigations is absolutely necessary. 
 
   It derives from a NYC project from about two years ago 
   where I was engaged to help clear up some ancient 
   building code problems required for a residential 
   property refinance. 
 
   The client is not one of those I've ridiculed on the Net  
   although I did scribble a bizarre story for a lit-list 
   about the leeches scrabbling for the rotting estate.
