Thanks MUCH to all of you. I've written down that statement I could use above my signature if he catches me in the driveway or in the yard when he comes by:

Do I hand it back to him after signing for it this way? I've heard that they sometimes just drop it at your feet or on your doorstep and consider it served if they catch you or anyone on your property in person, whether you sign for it or not. He can't get to my doorstep, but what if he does manage to catch me on my way in or out the gate? One day he parked there for 15-20 minutes at 6PM, obviously hoping to be in the driveway when I came home from work.
Meanwhile, he actually got the local postal sheeple to put his card in my PO BOX at the local Post Office yesterday and left another voice message on my machine! He was here at my gate yesterday afternoon and again this morning. My dog barked and he just parked there for about 5 minutes. I thought they were only authorized to make 3 trys for $20? And yes, I've wondered if he was being paid extra to keep trying. I'm sure that $hitibank lawyer is royally pi$$ed that I legally cornered him and caused him to dismiss rather than respond to my motions. I'm sure he wants to try again from the beginning now that he thinks he knows my defense strategies.
My paralegal friend told me that the judge likes to clear his docket after the first of the year, and that
maybe the case would be closed for failure to serve process if the deputy sheriff process server doesn't corner me within a certain time..... maybe the end of the month?
I wonder. I'm reluctant to do anything aggressive because that would prove that he has the right house, has contacted the right person, has gotten my attention, etc. My address is not at the street or on the house and there is no mailbox here at the gate, only across the street (rural delivery) - and no address on it either. My outgoing answering machine message does not mention my name. He had to go to the local Post Office, find out my PO Box number from them, and then the PO personnel either put it there for him or allowed him to do it. That certainly DOES seem like crossing the line to me. But if I surface and attack his methods, he can say that he made contact, right?
