Given the past history on Agora, and given your preference to go elswhere, and given the disparaging remarks about certain categories of people on Agora, my perception is that you would be biased, regardless of whether or not you are. The fact that this is a surprise to me and apparently to others here, leads me to believe the intent was to keep your presence a secret. I know it's all innocent. But again, the preception thing.
I'm done, becuase I know there is nothing I can do to change the situation, and if I say anything further I'll be shown the door.
