They have the power to make decisions about what is posted here, which is fine, but they also have the power to control public response to these decisions, to the point where they can completely eradicate any trace of dissent. This is a small pond, so it is hard to use the word "power" with a straight face, but in this limited context they are extremely powerful and need to be extremely careful to be responsible. It is hard to do anything about the current situation when there is the very real possibility that any critical comment you make will be declared "off-topic" and erased with no further mention. I think Peter is a great guy. I think the problem here is Harald and Will. Personally I think that Harald and Will should go away and let Peter run the place until July 1st. bruce
