I'm not at all sure what you're referring to? Do you mean Hans Gerber's
post further down the board?
(ie http://www.icdchess.com/forums/1/message.shtml?115098)
If that's what you meant, I don't think any of the Moderators are involved.
If you re-read it, it seems like he's saying that we DON'T moderate in such
cases.

That's what we try to do. To be honest (and not wanting to tempt fate) we've
hardly moderated *anything* lately. And I can assure you none of us is ever
"enthusiastic" about deleting messages: (a) It takes a lot of time. (b) It
*always* upsets people, often in ways that are impossible to predict.

Well that's your prerogative of course, but it would be a shame to go. In any
case our terms end in mid-August and then you'll get some new Moderators.

Cheers
