I suggest email as my PM box is nearly full. However Anastasios is corect in what he says, including my not posting too much here (especially with it being Great Lent)

I for one congratulate our Moderator Nicholas for taking a stand and making a decision that will not only impact him soley, but also his family.
And honestly I do not see what the big deal is that people are making over this man's decision. It's not as if this forum will become "The ROAC-only Cafe" in the coming weeks. Anyone who truly knows Nicholas and has talked to him knows that that is not the intent of this cafe. This has been reiterated many times in many posts to many replies of people in fear that our site will favor one jurisdiction over another.
Remember, this site used to be the ROCOR CAFE, but did that prevent people from coming ot the Cafe? If the numbers on the Cafe are correct and we are at almost 300 members and 13,000 articles, I think not.
We make the forum what it is as visitors. Yes, in a sense Nicholas "made the forum". but it is us as members, visitors, lurkers, and even trolls, who keep this forum alive.
Ok, I'm done now.

Please note that I do not subscribe to "Old Calendar Ecumenism" and believe that only the Synod of Archbishop Kallinikos is the canonical GOC of Greece. I do believe, however, that we can break down barriers and misunderstandings through prayer and discussion on forums such as this one.
