Well, probably someone else could shed more light on this than I could. I think at one point he resigned from the CCC Board, then someone took that opportunity to change his password (at his request?), then he asked for it back but it was not granted, then he apparently showed up as Steve Blatchford for a while... I am sure there are parts to the saga that I have missed, and possibly some of what I've said was inaccurate as well. I mean, that's why I just said "I don't know if Chris is a member in good standing or not" in the first place. Maybe it's clear to some people, but it's about as clear as mud to me. Dave Gomboc
