That is odd - it is also a support forum. And, though the rules say I am not supposed to post in the debate forums as Tony Isaacs since I have a private forum with that ID, I am able to post in those forums with either ID because I have accidentally done so with the Tony Isaacs ID a couple of times without realizing it (and promptly blanked out the message and posted as DQ).
I wonder if this is a glitch or if there is an intention to have seperate News and News Debate forums?
