There has always been a clear line of separation between TalkBoard and the Moderator corps.
In a meeting I attended today, someone made a comparison that I think explained it in terms that are easy to understand.
In this example, FT was compared to the various branches of the US Federal Government.
Randy and the HOM’s would be the Executive Branch.
The Moderators would be the Judicial Branch.
And Talkboard would be the Legislative Branch.
Perhaps a bit simplistic but it’s as straightforward an explanation as I’ve yet seen.
