Let me says this, before I get to know who will be moderating, as I don't want to 'offend' any one (selected as moderator) afterwards.
I am very sceptical about moderating the board (by others than Randys people himeself, even then I was/am sceptical).
I very much doubt, that any moderator can have the ability/SENSIBILITY to moderate/getting-adjusted critical postings from Flyertalkers coming from other cultures/backgrounds/mother-language-regions than North America.
Do you remember, when, in the early times of Flyertalk, a poor North American censorship on this board eliminated our japanese colleague because he used his home-airport in his name: '***uoka'?
In Switzerland my ancestors killed all dictators/kings/emperors starting in 1291. I don't support and will not applaud the intronisation of new moderators/dictators in my 'daily cyberspace-life' on Flyertalkboard.
greetings from the Alps (where we don't even let our Presidents to 'rule'longer than 12 months in a row). All the power to the people, as little power to the 'rulers'/moderators as absolutely necessary!
