If you want to see a great example of the moderator issue... </font>
It would appear to me to be a great example of something else:

Moderators are like teaching a spam filter. you assist the moderator by helping them determine what is good and what is bad. This moderator would have learned something in a private email exchange with you as to what he saw and what you saw in this thread. But to assist a moderator by this method of a public hearing? You have to know that doesn't work, look at other threads here. I would welcome to all members that they interact with moderators in a one-to-one fashion for threads and their closing. I'd think this is a member-to-member function but if needed I can get involved. </font>

Good call, gleff both on the substance of the post ("MilesBuzz! Discussion of the latest frequent flyer program buzz...") and on doing what Randy has asked you to do -- and on being so gracious in your response. That is indeed supererogatory in this situation, imo.
