I think ChrisW knows that, too, and I think he has chosen that time to act out on this forum, to prove that he can indeed manipulate when he wants to. It wouldn't surprise me if his agenda was simply to make the outgoing team of moderators look bad, though he is certainly capable of randomly being a bad boy. And yet, we tolerate this guy again and again, letting him come back under alias after alias. I go back to the "bad ole" days of RGCC (I know you do, too), and for me, ChrisW was one of three people (Rolf and Sean being the others), that CCC was formed to escape. Without these three, there would be no CCC (probably Rolf and Sean more than ChrisW, to be fair, but ChrisW was trouble enough). Strangely, the moderators, who are fighting tooth and nail to keep the power to suspend posting privileges, have proven incapable of doing so with regard to ChrisW. We ought to find out why and we ought to fix it, so that the moderators can at least enjoy some genuine power, which they do not seem to possess with regard to ChrisW. Roger
