Actually, I think the reason there are three moderators is because it is unfair to expect one moderator to spend 24 hours a day reading posts. To put in my two cents worth, I am very glad the post was deleted. When someone makes a lewd post in a 'computer chess' forum, he is being very selfish; for his and maybe a few other's tiddilation, he is willing to drag the forum down to his level of bathroom humor. He does not respect other's morals or their sensibilities, and does not worry about the shock they recieve when realising they have just been hoodwinked into reading a dirty joke. Maybe there should be a warning label beside each applicable post: "Sexual content", "Lewd Remarks", "R: Under 18 Not Admitted Without Parent". I am probably not the only one in this situation: my life on the internet hangs by a thread. If my parents find out I am even accidentally reading dirty jokes online, then for my own protection I will be removed from the net. Some may say that that is my own problem, but really it isn't; I expect and hope to come to what is advertised as a "Computer Chess Club". To find something else means I have just been tricked. There has been much discussion about how Bruce should have asked a second opinion before deleting. I say Fernando should have asked a second opinion before posting. James
