Yeah, G'day... lbc here and I'm an unregistered poster.

To be honest, I was initially shocked at the desecration of my above post by the Rainbow Chicken Warrior.

My first thought, upon reading the above, was that one of the moderators must have done it, because only moderators have the power to edit another's post ... and I thought the entire moral substance upon which this chess forum was provided had gone up the spout!

I come from chess forums where such behaviour would be considered the sole realm of the moderators...

This narrowed it down to four suspects who might seek to antagonise me: Alex (unlikely, given that he wishes to encourage new posters here), Matt Sweeney who may be likely to post something like that as a joke after a few beers... and after a few beers, would most likely be unable to spell a word like "psychedlic" so corectly. [sorri mat! ]

Trevor Stanning, [my original suspect!] who is perhaps the most likely of all to exercise his sense of humour in such a fashion... especially when given a target which he suspects will take the jest in the fullness of a joke and bear no malice... and of course, Kevin Bonham.

Now, whilst Dr Bonham is not listed as a moderator of this site, he does seem to visit every day ... yet he never seems to post! (Hmmmm...) Dr Bonham has mentioned in the past that he once made himself available for surreptitious "mod duty" on a chess forum, where a Moderator had provided him with their log in & password details ... one cannot help but wonder if say, Alex, Matt or Trevor may have provided Dr Bonham with such details so that he can mod whilst they're snoozing!

Yours sincerely,
