Peter, you said:  "As you might be aware, i was recently demoted from more than a decade of President status, less than week ago, for telling the truth and exposing  ( to be polite), "obfusications. "

I suspect that the truth is somewhat different.  My guess is that since none of the Presidents have the power to "demote" you, your rank may have changed after receiving a number of "one star" votes from other posters.  Once your overall numerical average on user votes drops below a certain threshold, the system demotes you automatically.

Regardless of what's happening on that front, let's get focused back onto the main topic:  Noront.  Have a good evening, everyone.
