Am I right?

Why have you posted but not told us what your opinion is. There is nothing to discuss - if you do not. So perhaps you could simply tell our forum what it is your opinion on this statement?

Do you agree with it and the proposed solution to it - or not?

Ebbie - perhaps you would accept that it is the public posting of this 'for the record' statement by the current Chief of the Mudcat Editing Team that is causing you and our forum the sort of problems and conclusions you refer to? All I am doing is asking for these problems to be discussed and addressed.

For this is exactly the sort of division that I refer to. In all truth your opinion either supports this statement or it does not. So why should you feel you have to struggle to make your opinion fit with any 'semi-official' party line and feel you need to be seen to be on the right side? Especially a side that appears never to be satisfied.........

In my view there has only been one side to take and that is to support our forum and the open invitation for the public to post and the continuation of Max's posting policy. To my mind, any poster who does not support this and requires it to be changed to better suit their requirements - has never been posting on the right forum.
