I enjoy the discussions about how the show has changed over the years and part of that is how Nicholas has chaired it. But I remember, not too long ago, that we had repeated posts questioning his mental faculties because of one percieved mistake or inconsistency or another. That sort of thing is just not on and, even if it got lots of discussion going, I couldn't count that as a success. I do remember making similar points at the time.

I remember this too, those posts were utterly annoying and let me right away make one thing clear: I do *not* mean to bash Nick at all. And if that is how my mails are perceived then please all, accept my apologies. But to even put my posts in the same category as someone questioning his mental faculties is... Well... Pretty darn extreme.

But are we really *this* easily offended? I mean, I love Nicolas, the show would never be the same without him! The views I've expressed is merely that I do think he did a lot more errors earlier and has become more consistent and fair in his later years. And, again, I think his worst decade probably was the 90s - the decade that ironically also have some of the best shows. That is my honest, humble opinon as a fan of the series.
And I do of course know the show is edited. I've even worked for a broadcaster for almost a decade (something clitheroedkid of course could not know). But some of those rulings or inconsistency I refer to is *not* a consequence of poor editing. It just isn't. I'll have to get back to you all on that, but I will start taking notes.
Maybe i am wrong, but my clear impression is that he has gotten better since then. How's that for slandering of his name... *sigh*

Anyway, I think it is unfortunate if *only* unconditional praise is accepted on a fanlist like this, and not even very mild criticism like mine towards the consistency/fairness in Nicks rulings are accepted.
I will respect it, what's the use of discussing this alone anyway, but I think it's a bit sad.
