I was up for consideration for the moderator role. Robin also had some recommendation from someone whose opinion he valued and that swung his decision in my favour, I believe.

I've been informed that this is the idea. However, I've not heard anything from directly from PaulB (and probably not likely to either - since we don't talk), but the sympathy thing could be well be accurate at this point.

PaulB may or may not be a doctor. He's kind of like Father Christmas in the sense that some think he is for real, while some just don't believe.

There are quite a few instances of this is the archives of this forum. However, it's not too unlike finding a needle in a haystack.

Would you have sex with Chimp?

Stretching works for some and not others. After several months of "stretching" my foreskin I had no results and saw surgery as a viable option. I am now quite happy with the results and functionality, so in that regard it was successful for me. In saying that though, I'm sure people that have had success with stretching out phimosis would probably hold a different view.

Hope that helps.
