What are we doing wrong?

[Andrew McHarg]

Good point, from past experience it's clearly for the best to leave the forum well alone.
The Independence debate is so important it should be way beyond politics.

Well the forum is what people make it. But despite how important the independence debate is, it makes little tangible difference to Chess in Scotland. However, this has proven to be a contentious issue on the forum in the past, and I'm sure everyone would rather not see that side of it resurface.

But anyway, I'm not a moderator anymore - so that's just my opinion. :p
