As for this mate thingy. It was me who suggested Andy. I'm the outsider. I've only posted frequently in this forum since maybe May. How I can be mates with him beggars belief.

In the short time, I found him fairest amongst all. He also doesn't in any way ' bully ' this user. In fact he's very supportive.
Suffice to say, he would be the best person to be a Moderator. No bias.

And guess what, your own members agreed with my recommendation. Those who have made thousands of posts here.

You ignore them at your peril. If you have carded Stenson, please confirm it. So that members can write to HQ to see whether that decision is justified.
