Guys, do you need to use this as another excuse to have a go at each other?

We are very conscious of the fact that the more paranoid members here would be bothered by having a closed mod forum. It was pointed out that we could equivalently carry out the business by mass private messages, but that would be more unwieldy and less useful. Thus, we use a closed forum. Unfortunately the forum software has bugs so the message headings are visible, apparently. C'est la vie?
