I have never offered to be a moderator.....I might have offered to be a
proponent because I believe in principle that this is the way to go but
only if it would help out - it matters no way to me, but I have no
interest whatsoever in being a moderator on rec.ponds - but I do have an
interest in using rec.ponds.moderated where I should be able to post in
peace and enjoy the conversations and learn from the information imparted
there....

Actually, she is completely right about a lurker appearing out of nowhere
and offering to be a moderator. This would be viewed with suspicion by
most people and lessens a proposal's chances of being accepted by the
Board.


And for the record I have not appeared from nowhere - Carol, Roy, Jabbers,
Jan, Phyllis & Jim, Kathy, Derek all know who I am....as I would guess
some other ponders also do....

Please add me to that list. You've been a breath of fresh air in these
discussions. I don't always agree with you, but I hope I have tried to
understand your viewpoint(s), and I have learned from you.
