I assume its the other way around. You need to resolve this by asking the admins before you present yourself for nomination. This is a chess site and not the jeopardy game show.

I'm not entirely sure what tempted me to do such a thing in the first place. Shall I call it temporary insanity (pretending it's not really a permanent condition)?

I don't know where it is, but if you could be so kind to find it for me, I will nominate it on your behalf.

If I recall correctly, it is from the Kenneth Rogoff page. You talk about how the Israeli State can exist, but 'just not where it is presently located'.

Probably from 3 or 4 months back.

Although the subject can be of a sensitive nature, you wrote very cogently and very inclusively about it. That's why I would like to nominate it.

The post I'm referring to, from what I recall, is anywhere from the 3 month-old to the 6 month-old.

PS. Thanks for finding it, <Abdel Irada>. Great stuff.

sorry for the spam, but: i've <solved the problem of ignore list disrupted cg.com links> - see my profile for my attempt at constructiveness - and i have mentioned that fix some 100 times already (or so it feels). hence, it's a bit disheartening that many still post broken links. and of course: this also includes people who have been pointed towards the solution of the problem once, twice and three times.
