An interesting quote from Randy from just after I joined FT:

July 8, 1999

"Part of the decision was a review of how others run their boards. We've been intrigued by the "volunteer" system that AOL has, where these volunteers devote some of their time helping and guiding others, and serving somewhat as deputies to view content as it's posted for proper reference. We think we can build that network of volunteers because we've seen an inordinate number of people show real care and understanding of what FT is all about."
