Well if free email is the root of all evil in CCC, then go for it. You mentioned
in another reply, that the ones speaking the loudest have the most to hide.

Well I had a hotmail, now I have a free Australian email account. I do not have
one with my ISP, extra charge so I told them to go jump. I do not drive, so no
drivers license. As for other ID whats that, No passport. I will be damned if I
will send credit card details over the net, and certainly not for this. As for
scanning other private documents, well I think not.

I pretty much expect that I would leave if this was bought in, and over the past
couple of day we have talked about certain events between us through email
Harold. And I would take it that maybe you find this an easy way to get rid of
me and others on here you for some reason have something against.

Well go ahead, I can do without posting on here. I give my real name, and if
that is not good enough for people then I cannot be bothered to give anymore
than that. Certainly not for posting in here. It was not part of the original
deal when I signed up.

I think people have agendas in here, and we all know we can write and twist
words to get a point accross. So if you want me out of here Harold for making a
post which was a joke and typically harmless, then fine. If you or Will are
voted back in as moderators then I am out of here.

Apart from being a great Chessmaster Fan, I would like to know from anyone in
here what I have done to warrant Harold basically telling me that I am no longer
welcome in here. Whats the point he will delete this post anyway.

My hypothetical about moderators having agendas against certain people, well it
was no hypothetical. But loved Harolds reply anyway
