Do we REALLY need one as we seemingly have two already - plus Moses seems to be doing most of the moving posts around to suit himself anyway so yet another Mod is probably the LAST thing this board needs just now as it recovers from Arsenals worst efforts.
And as for SG "departing" perhaps I'm reading his post incorrectly but I read it more as a question to Moses i.e "CAN my posts be deleted" ( i.e not 'will you" but more of a "can you?" question ) where it seems he was then told "no they can't / won't be moved " and to that then it seems he replied with something along the lines of "well bugger that then but from now on I intend to post a LOT less IF at all.
So to me that was a "I'm not posting much anymore unless I chose to or something changes or you pair wise the hell up basically". Perhaps as our unesteemed ex-Mod HAS now hung up his Mod's wand SG will reconsider, personally I hope so, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he continued to say "bollocks to the lot of it" as a long standing member here after his treatment here and I think he'd be well within his rights.
No doubt the management will disagree with that both about that and re my post in general - but hey no surprises there then eh !
SG's ( abridged) but exact words ( for the record and for fear I be accused of misquoting him) were -
"I sent Moses a PM yesterday .... asking if I could be deleted from this forum and all my posts removed. ........ I was told it's not policy. So, since I cannot be deleted I'm afraid you will just have to put up with my existing posts in perpetuity - but as for any new posts, they will be very few and far between indeed - if at all"
To me that's fairly clear, he hasn't quit, he's just merely lost the will to live with the current managements direction - a common enough feeling these days it seems - no matter what they seem or want to believe.
Now, before we get too off track how we'd better return to the thread in hand perhaps and or move this portion of thread to elsewhere ( as it will be moved shortly anyway no doubt)
