Doug:
I'd like to echo the thought expressed by several others that there are no "leaders" or "bigwigs" on this board. Catman's a monitor or sorts, but he doesn't really control anything, and the folks at FF do a pretty good job of keeping things clean. We were all new to the board once, and we've all grown up a bit since we joined. I remember that one of my first posts criticized a couple of older (not necessarily in age) members for not using English. I was quickly reminded (rightly so) that our members are an international lot and that my criticism was out of line. I might have taken offense and refused to continue to participate. If I had done that, I'd have lost a lot of valuable insight into the FF system and I wouldn't have made some new friends. Your original post was well-intended (as mine was). You just need to stick around a while - at least long enough to learn that this really a pretty nice group of people that manages to get along pretty well without any "management."
