Wow! I go away for a couple of days and return to a new world order! Well, not quite, but I understand.

I have broken the "read the entire thread before posting" rule because this one is very long and I have inadequate time to digest it all. I read the first very many and a few throughout the list however. Please forgive.

I will support Max in any decision he makes on our collective behalf. My feeling about becoming a regular poster a couple of years ago was that everyone here was a sort of guest of Max since this was his party. I still feel pretty much the same. Max is the best kind of host because he lets us all be ourselves, at least until someone is hurt. (In my dayjob workplace nothing changes until someone is hurt, killed or sued, or management needs money. Max is acting proactively before that.) In the meantime, we are self-policed for the most part, and that works for me, but it doesn't appear to work for party crashers. I approve of the Max plan and its rationale.

I can't offer any more constructive advice than what's already been said.

God bless you and the work you do Max.

Peace, Mooh.
