Yes, I noticed that there were 4 times as many posts on 1 e4 e5 as on the Nimzo & Benoni section ... and I had a few spare hours to move all the posts!!

What is your verdict? I'd like to thank Tony for implementing my idea to split the 1.e4 e5 section. On another note, I'm thinking of getting a ChessPublishing subscription at the end of the year.

	Put another way, only 6 people on the entire site think it's a good idea at any time. The rest are either indifferent or opposed. (So indifferent that they didn't even bother to vote!)

	Right now the poll is very close, with 6 people voting for the split, 6 voting against the split and 3 remaining indifferent.

	Thank you very much. I appreciate it a lot. Personally I don't see the Forum having "both" as any problem. I don't think that one opening get priority over another. If I would like to start a thread discussing any line of Ruy Lopez I just do it and the same for any other opening and any other Forum member. If I am not interseting in e.g Two Knights I just skip reading the thread. It is when the resources are sparse the priority is necessary. The expert writing the e4 e5 section or thr Open Sicilian section has only limited time and must select. Then the splitting could be something to be discussed - which means more time and consequently bigger cost. Something for the member to wish (or not) and the owner to estimate and decide based on (long term, I hope) financial and opening criterias.

	What kind of proof is that?

There must be an error and I ask you kindly to remove any vote on my account which means that one vote should be removed from "Absolutely!". OK, I've removed it. Incidentally, it is easy enough to divide the 1 e4 e5 sections into 2 on the Forum, providing ... one of the moderators is again happy to reassign all the previous posts!

	OK I understand, but please keep in mind one less vote for "Absolutely!"

Unfortunately I can't remove votes from the poll. I checked the 'edit poll' page but without any luck.

	Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to edit poll results. Then again, that may be a good thing.

I might add that at 12:46am yesterday I was riding my motorbyke to the hospital in Malmö to visit my brother! I actually have the exact time when I talked with the physician!

	I don't mind if Najdorf get a section of its own but I rather would like Ruy Lopez to get its own section. That is the reason why I am not voting. By the way I refuse to pay any extra money for Najdorf so if that is a requisite to remain Gold member I will re-consider my membership. On the other side I would actually pay extra for a Ruy Lopez section. I think a poll should consider the financial aspect as well. What is it worth if I vote for "Yes please, Najdorf" then I cut down on my subscription when I realize that the fee becomes higher. ...or, are there information/promises that the Najdorf will be free for already goldmembers, now and in the future? In that case, please tell and I won't mind voting for Najdorf.
