Brad, your comments ought to be "required reading" for members and prospective members of this site. This site isn't strictly organized and my guess is that it never will be and was never intended to be subject to formal rules and practices. Most would prefer it to be this way. Those interested in an in depth analysis of what goes on "behind the scenes" seem to suggest that something inappropriate is happening. I don't believe so for a second. While Bruce and Dave dominate the posts here, they each serve in a VOLUNTEER positiion that by all appearances they do very well.

All of us should share the concern that the negativity and innuendo of some here certainly have the potential to scare away new cachers and members. Think about that if you're one of those inclinced to question the way this site has worked for many years. While a question or two posed directly to Rick in a PM would be appropriate, try to resist the effort to "call out" folks here who are trying to give back to our game.
