A lot of folks don't trust a lot of the moderators we have now - for a variety of reasons - so I can't see adding one to ORP is going to make a difference.

If you don't like what the ORP moderator says, you're going to start a thread lambasting them. And if the moderator starts closing those threads, then we get a(nother) "Moderator Shadow Government Conspiracy" thread.

ORP is for issues people want to bring to Only Randy Petersen's attention.

If they wanted to bring it to a moderator's attention, they would have. So I don't see adding a moderator here doing any real good, and probably just causing even more strife.

If Randy wants to weigh in on a thread, he will. Starting dozens of new ones on slight tangents won't increase the chances of him answering - just increase the chances of us missing his answer.
