Ahh! But WHY? Is it ego?
I believe that someone who volunteers to edit the ACF's newsletter should have the ACF's interests in mind.
No, not correct. There is something more important than the ACF. It is the chess culture and its future in Australia. The ACF is supposed to be the facilitator of such - the means to the ends. Therefore the editor has the duty to put the ACF under the microscope.
Protecting the ACF from criticism is not going to lead to improvement.
