As guest 'Partridge' indicates above, it has become really difficult to discern exactly what Shambles wants.

Not if you read it - and not what other posters say that I want.

Bill D - But what do you want?

You appear to support anonymous 'moderators' - however ineffective and counter-productive this may be to our forum and no matter how much (some of) our 'moderators' then moan about the results - as part of the Max approved status quo.

But you then point our the advantages of a change to members only posting - and ingnore that this is NOT the Max approved status quo.

If you don't like Max's basic posting policy that our forum has always operated on - why have you stayed posting (and moaning) for so long and why do you not form your own private club? Why do you think you have some right after all this time, to impose your requirements on other posters on our forum?
