Thanks for the response, Dave. I can understand your concerns about privacy of PMs. Personally, I look forward to the capability of sharing admin duties here as on IHub. that is the key issue: the betrayal and violation of the expectation of privacy of other unsuspecting users To me, the browbeating of certain posters here by others who they've moderated from the thread is as vital an issue. I've seen time and time again the "you can post there, you go do it" posts, the attaboys, the racial slurs and insinuations that certain posters are illegal aliens. And finally, to see you dragged into this over and over again by certain posters, and then to have your words flung in the face of the threadheads here, has angered me enough to say something publicly. Okay, end of rant. I really appreciate the response and hope you have a relaxing Labor Day weekend. Plus golf. :-)

OT: Dave, as we've discussed in private, if you ask me to stop sharing banning responsibilities, I will immediately. I'm sorry for any extra burden this has placed on you. I am perplexed as to why it bothers some posters. I'm looking forward, after the election, to discussing investing and economics on SI - the reasons I joined. None of the enmity from this election will stay with me. Best of luck with the new site. Warmest Regards, CR
