I'm ok with everybody on the list above.  IMO, they are ALL good people.

I would watch out for the "Byrne" guy -- he's a little bit nuts.  I may have to
tone down my rhetoric on CTF.  I see the role as hopefully being mininmally
involved - keep to at least chess on CCF - a tie-in with computers is always
welcomed.  I also enjoy disccusions/analysis on games played - doesn't have to
be a computer in my book.  I would not be  a big fan of long winded Bobby
Fsicher discussions or USCF politics - plenty of that on r.g.c.c.   I would NOT
censor any of the Diepeven/Hyatt discussions. I would not allow
racism/nationality/religious bashing and ugly personal insults (moderated
insults would be allowed - such as the ones penned by Diepeven and Hyatt).  I
would not permit posts that encourage or link to pirated software.  In my book,
"no CD fixes links/posts"  allow unsavory users to use pirated software or posts
that encourage the use of pirated software would be removed.  For those that
want to do this, you can use r.g.c.c..

I would employ little more open approach on CTF.  Personal insults on CTF are
ok, as long as they are not obscene and they are done with a little bit of
thought or a touch of humor.  Point/Counterpoint discussions are always welcome
- especially when they make me think.

Basically , I would try to keep it the same as it is today.

Golly gee, it sounds like I'm running for office ;>).

Seriously, I'm ok with any of the above people and I'm not asking for any votes
; howver I would run if nominated and serve if elected, attempting to follow the
guidelines I stated above.
