Hi Fernando, Don't EVER lose that free spirit, and please do not temper what you say because some moderator will get on your back. Just do what everyone in CCC currently has been doing and that is read and contribute to computer chess discussions. Dirty jokes - fine with me Analogies to Star Trek - fine with me Your sexual triumphs - keep to yourself, if you don't mind :-) If they arise out of the flow of the computer chess discussion, then throw it in. Now for the moderator part... How about responding to my post from a few days ago and then I can compile the whole list of nominees and their background info (except for Karsten!!)? Here it is... I would like to see a very short biography on each nominee - to include: age, occupation (if any), chess program fathered (if any), country, family, interests, perhaps even personal thoughts about what types of posts should be deleted or not deleted. Regards, Steve
