Brad, I applaud you for your effort with this. I know what a difficult (and thankless) job it is to build and run a forum. Not sure if you remember when I did it, or even when I was the SysOp of Delphi, but it wasn't easy. Getting paged at 3am...keeping things alive in the slow year of 2000 with 20,000 posts (almost, but at least they were quality posts...), being the only one in the hobby that admited liking the "Beat Goes On" book more than the Handbook, etc, etc. In short, I made a better SysOp than Admin. Admin's are best off sticking to their forum rules and staying out of heated discussions (like John Mann did with a lot of class from 1998 to 2001). Staying out of heated discussions was my vice...I just had to speak for the "silent majority" and "call it as I saw it" when nobody else had the balls to. Anyway..I'll step off my soap box now... I have mellowed somewhat in my older (wiser) age.
But I know that "Some of us here, particularly me, would like to buy you a drink and shake your hand."
