My apologies. I presumed it was an interview you had done on Chesschat. I don't read chesschat, nor do I read the closet grandmaster, so please forgive my ignorance.

I have no formal responsibility to MCC for posting its news on Ozchess.
I simply told Grant that if he emailed me items I would put the up. I'm starting to reconsider this position now. May aswell cut out the middle man me thinks.
I also think its very healthy to encourage all members to post on forums about things that concern them. I still don't really understand why people send me their games to post on ozchess, from events like the club championship. Surely they could just put there own games on the site anyway. I mean it can't be more effort then a mouseclick or two.

Not doing so, would inadvertently create confusion as it happened in your and in my case! Not knowing that Ariel had published an interview with Grant, I thought at the beginning that it was my interview that was published here, and so was the person who actually e-mailed me to let me know!
To be honest, my personal opinion is that it doesn't matter. If the confusion creates conversation between people then that is probably a positive not a negative.

I understand. I never presumed it was a spite thing. I simply stated I read Ozchess and don't read Chesschat and that I would like to read your interviews on Ozchess. And that goes for Amiels interviews also LoL.
cheers,
