I'm sure, as you well know being a moderator yourself, that there are
lots of moderators out here that are motivated by charitable
incentives. They spend a great deal of time and effort trying to do a
credible job of keeping some semblance of order on their forums; much
of it unappreciated by many.
My experience was unfortunate. It did however turn me away from
thinking of moderators in a positive vein and more into the negative
side of the equation.

Actually I agree that there appear to be a fair number of anal moderators -
or they are at least not very good moderators.

But getting back to the initial topic of a moderator for this group;
I'll tell you in all honesty; with all the "personalities" we have on
this forum considering pilots, their diversified backgrounds and the
natural egos (mine not withstanding :-), I wouldn't want to take on
that job for all the tea in China :-))

Thankfully this group probably could never be switched to a moderated one
for technical and "political" reasons.

Still - on one hand you appear to have the appropriate level of laid-
backness to be a non-anal moderator who would rarely reject a post, yet on
the other hand you have too much good sense to be trapped into such a job.
I envy you your good sense. :-) (Excepting avoidance of yard chores, which
it appears you are not clever enough to avoid. Which reminds me, our yard
needs mowing sometime this week....)
