I just noticed I am on 13 posts, not good for me! So I would like to add that I have now been logging on for a few days and it is a really great site with no one jumping down the throats of any Posts! Once again Staffs a big thankyou for providing a more open minded forum! Well done.

Middle Pillar, The general idea is to let the forumites be sensible and to a degree to self modearte their posts although three of us appointed moderators have been taught to be cautious and vigilant and cowans and obscene posters will not be tolerated. we are glad you like this newlook forum and hope your stay will be a long one

Let me add to the Observations of the Brother Administrator.
As a Moderator I do not see my role as a Censor nor as a Nihil Obstat nor Imprimatur. There is no "Party Line" to be upheld, no shibboleths, no Dogma, no procrustean rules regarding "relevance". If a post IS moved it will be put it in a more appropriate thread and not to "punish" or censure the poster. The words Presto Locko are not in my vocabulary!
Intervention, as Staffs says, will only be where necessary for the good order and Harmony of the Forum, or in the hopefully rare occasion that someone oversteps the mark or where in the eyes of the Moderators , someone is deliberately "flaming", trying to stir up animosity, being insulting, or posting "Spam".
Let us hope that we need not draw our swords from their sheath! ;D
So in fine, "Enjoy the Freedom and use it responsibly" .

1. I've noticed quite a few new members joining up to the forum lately, and wanted to wish a warm welcome to all of them at once right now!!
2. I noticed over 7 guests were lurking on the site at once today, meaning the site is starting to get some buzz!!

Having been a MM for nearly two years - Old Elizabethans' 8235 - it is refreshing to find a site that seems to allows full discussion, its also nice to see so many 'faces' from other sites appearing.
Though I tend to reply directly rather than post, this site does seem to be more encouraging for those who might usually 'lurk'. I hope this openness and tolerance will continue as the same old questions do the rounds. Something that is sadly lacking elsewhere.
Well done guys!

Michael,
knowing Lee, and others involved in this forum, to the extent I do, I feel I can assure you that it will always be as friendly, open and informative as it is now.
Great to see you here.
