I nominate CArol Gulley aka Zebulon a sa moderator since she seems to
be of the iopinion she is never in error and she has the most intact
reputation and integrity of all involved in the usenet groups.


Do I have to send her recomendation into the big 8 or what....I think
caro lwould make a jam up moderator..........

This may cause a problem Galen. There are a lot of hurt feelings and anger
where two of these proposed moderators are concerned. Human nature being
what it is they may not be able to remain neutral when "judging" someone's
messages they're angry at for whatever reason. That's why I feel we should
really try and find neutral moderators and those who can keep their cool
when disagreements come up.

I think all the moderators realize it could become a problem, and
we've tried to combat this. Hopefully it will be accomplished by
having fairly clear criteria spelled out in the charter and by judging
by content, and not header information (author). But if you can scare
up any willing would-be moderators, especially in differing timezones,
go for it.

Human nature again. I doubt they'd agree and admit their animosity for
certain posters, and offer to step back so a neutral person can take their
place. Because if favoritism or censorship starts even a moderated group
would be doomed. I've seen that happen on Forums and posting boards over the
years. All but one are now gone from the scene.

We'll try to keep from doing that.
