As noted, I'm still reviewing applications and when i have come ot a point where a candiate application may not work for a particular reason, i'll let that person know. My time has been sucked up by the launch of the Freddie Award balloting earlier this week. As noted, more volunteers are on their way.

As a note because I think it was a question. One's proficiency with a program is not a pre-qualification for being a moderator. Moderators aren't asked to be experts on a topic - that's the value of FT, many members contribute to that expertise. moderators are a foem of welcoming committee to the many new members who arrive daily. Their goals are fairly clear, try to help members direct topics to correct forums and serve to remind when necessary, that staying on topic is very cool on FT.

I think there was a question about UA needing three moderators. Someone might have asked before assuming anything. Craig has served that forum well over the years and recently has had more office work piled up on him. I want to give him less responsibility so he can feel free to contribute to FT as a member and not always as a moderator. Yes, we try to respect members personal commitments and make adjustments. I think that says something more about FT, not something less.

Final word: all current applications are active and that means not only are they not rejected, but we are looking at things they are currently posting as to how well mannered they may be as volunteers.
