In any case, you guys have done have a great job overall. As i said above, the ChrisW thing is the only thing that turns an A+ into an A-, at least for me. No one can be perfect all the time, and no one has a right to expect them to be. Furthermore, it is hard to censor your friends. I understand that, and that is one of the problems of having moderators that are also programmers: Programmers have a relationship with each other that exists outside CCC. They are a "tighter" community than CCC, and rightly so. So of course that causes problems when you get a "rogue programmer" like ChrisW, because the CCC stuff overflows into personal relationships that exist outside CCC. So it's no wonder that moderators who are programmers sometimes feel caught in the middle. It's understandable, and i think Chris probably plays on this to get extra "wiggle room" that no one else would get. But it doesn't make it right. Roger
