Two reasons. 1. Met Simon on Dimitri's flamenco site, which at the time (I felt anyway) was a bit like a flamenco facebook for the San Francisco area and felt a bit closed shop to extranjeros. Simon was funny and disoriented the (mainly) U.S membership by coming across as the stereotype English gentleman with his Earl Gray tea and muffins etc, which made me laugh. When Dimitri decided to pack it in after a hand injury and pull the plug, Simon came up with a refuge site called Flamenco Hangover, hosted by MSN where all the outcasts could keep in contact. From there he started ForoFlamenco, which has developed over the years to be truly International in membership. Simon asked me to moderate about 7 years ago while he was away, but I was reluctant as I felt I was definitely more of the type to need moderation rather than dispense it. Anyway it was meant to be for two weeks only, but somehow I got stuck with the job. 2 When I was young I was completely fascinated by building shortwave radios and listening to english service broadcasts from far off lands. I used to write to the stations and pick up QSL cards and had a large world map on my bedroom wall with stickpins indicating all the stations I had been in contact with. I still get that same buzz out of being in contact with Flamenco enthusiasts from all over the world and love the motto over Broadcasting House, London.... "Nation shall speak unto Nation." So that's it....oh, and I also learn/play a bit of Flamenco Guitar! cheers, Ron
