Randy, to take this topic ever so slightly off course, I would like to refer to your recent post on the following DL board thread. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum.../007212-6.html

Last year you made it clear that the major boards will eventually have moderators when I posted a thread on this subject on the DL board. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum21/HTML/003724.html

I have come to the conclusion that you are correct in your approach and would like to offer the following suggestion. Every board has it's own individual personality that has developed over time. Hopefully you will be picking individuals that are active members of each individual board and will respect the makeup and flavor of that board. On the DL board you have individuals like GG, LexPassenger and Bruce Schobel (there are many others) that have made repeated contributions in the past to the overall character and growth of the board. GG & Lex's Beginners' Guide to the Delta Forum is an excellent example.

With that in mind, I hope that when you do make that selection for us, we will have an open minded, intelligent and thoughtful moderator.
