I've actually been half-heartedly following this board in recent months, mainly due to the ongoing haranging over the suites, which I considered settled sometime last year. I considered it a closed matter, and was tired of seeing it come up again and again, so I lost interest.

As for the moderator issue, what's wrong with having a few moderators? Ideally, this board will get a little less acerbic, and the moderators will never have anything to do.

I did volunteer on the thread on the ORP forum, and although people know I volunteered in a fun-spirited way, I would consider the position if so offered.

Finally, I have seen countless valuable posters on other FT forums self-exile themselves due to personal attacks or the perception thereof. I would hate to see this historically self-regulating board get that way and lose valuable insights.
