I have asked Buck to close my account

I don't delete accounts from the forum that have more than 0 posts, though, because it reverts all your previous posts to "Guest" and can cause errors with previous quotes, links, etc. I'll just leave your account as is and you can choose not to post again, should that be what you decide. I can only hope that, in time, you'll choose to return. You've been a great member of the community and will be sorely missed
This is interesting, though I do not fully understand your reasoning, since I am a technical numpty as enny fule kno. However it occurs to me that advertising revenue may be related to claimed membership and that this might have financial implications. Of course the size of the membership may be entirely irrelevant to whether advertisers choose to place adverts here; and the fees may not vary with the size of the board. But it worries me. I would like to have your assurance that the size of the membership has no financial effect at all, and if you can do that I am content to leave quietly. Otherwise I must insist since I would not like to be party to any financial impropriety
