Randy,

OK, I'm back as I was I don't feel cool about the idea, I am still a strong believer in moderation on the board and have a good idea about how to go about it as I pointed out in my application. As for moderating this thread? Sometimes when someone says something that puts things back at ease the moderator doesn't need to comment, there was a small fire to put out and you beat me to it

As for my posting this to the Talkboard forum, I did so because I was under the impression that they were currently responsible for selecting the previous applications though your post makes it clear what the current situation is, and I thank you for that.
