Dudley, I can't think of an example in the past when you have given me reason
to doubt your veracity, but I certainly do this time (even though I am sure that
you would like to believe what you say above is true).

The world does not need more Internet forums and certainly no more blogs.
Fracturing any group into smaller fragments, each led by some "big kahuna"
moderator, leads to a tragic inbreeding of ideas. It is far better to simply
outwait the trolls.

(My opinion, respectfully presented).

I would agree with you generally speaking from my own experience with
moderated forums, and if the two forums I've recommended to this group
turn out to have a "big Kahuna" in charge who dominates the forum, I
swear to you that I will be the first one back here to say publicly I
was totally mistaken.

These two forums I have mentioned seem to be extremely well run and
controlled by very nice, involved in aviation at the ground root level,
people; in one case, a very nice family. These people have put up the
forum as a public service to aviation and as far as I can determine, are
anything but "Big Kahunas".
I'll admit I have limited experience with both forums thus far, but I'll
tell you this much; I have received several dozen under postings at both
forums, including a warm welcome from the administrators themselves and
not one post even close to being negative. Everyone there seems happy to
be there and simply interested in friendly and serious dialog exchange.
Nobody seems threatening, bullyish, or threatened, and most of all, eem
only interested in the quality of the information passed back and forth.

My personal impression is that the moderators would much rather leave
the "moderating" to the forum members through encouragement rather than
some "Big Kahuna" discipline.

Why don't you come on over and lurk a bit and see for yourself. Nothing
ventured, nothing gained. That's how I found these two forums, simply by
accident.
