Firstly VP - I am so sorry. My sincerest condolences. 
Secondly - I was hoping to dip in on a thread rather than post this on it's own but couldn't find the right opportunity so I am truly sorry to re-introduce myself in this way as I'm just not that important, especially after making an ass of myself the last time.
I've returned (hopefully with Ices permission) under a new name, because Snus is way too important in my life to ignore and by re-joining after re-evaluating my idiotness, I feel I can make a constructive contribution to Snuson and the Snus world (this time). Snus quite simply has saved my life and improved my health so I owe the Snus world some loyalty. We really do need to stick together because certainly in Europe (apart from Sweden Finland and Denmark) Snussing is unfortunately quite rare.
Thirdly - Sorry to see Chad go. I'm not privy to the situation so I can't comment but all I am qualified to say is that there are two sides to every story and I hope this can be worked through between the concerned parties and hopefully we'll see him back.
Fourthly - It has in fact been quite entertaining watching the unfolding events but hopefully as Snusdog has said, like a marriage you'll all work through this. I think it's healthy. It is true that YOU make the site so please (unlike me) don't leave as a result of all this. All the posts I've read have been intelligent and adult even if in reality some points may be baseless there is nevertheless validity in the way people are feeling - whatever those reasons may be.
Fifth - I hope the future changes to the Snuson site do not impede freedom to express views on any particular brand of Snus - or impede freedom of any kind of civilised expression. I doubt it will. If this is indeed the case, the site can only improve under the canopy of Northerner.
Last - I'd rather not publicly give away my previous user name as I'd like to start on a clean slate. You're all extremely bright anyway so you'll probably guess in about a nanosecond. :lol:
Peace
