david upshaw: No, David, I would never consider myself as a candidate to moderator. I have a democratic ideal about "discussion foruns" that is not suitable with arrogance, as I see now...I surely would like to see people interested in checkers as moderaters of this forum, because that would take this forward. I can see many candidates for that, such as Vic, Greg Murray, Undertaker and so many others that even have already published interesting articles about checkers. This is not a persecution of the moderators of this forum but only what everybody can see...Aboute the menaces of being banned from here, I would rather prefer that than beeing part of a forum where any diferent oppinion is considered a "trouble"...As someone once said, I rather prefer dying on my feet than living on my knees...Be good!
