People who are involved would be better moderators if you ask me. Well..I disagree..People no matter how level headed they are, get into a lot of trouble when they are personally involved..

As such, it would mean that if he was a Moderator he probably would have problems justifying intervening in debates over Crafty threads, or matters regarding deep blue for that matter.. >The 3 people that are mention here are all level headed people.

All this >makes them very well suited to moderate if you ask me. No question about this..They are all well liked and helpful espcially to people who are not considered in the "in-crowd". Hence you can see many people directing their questions to them.. Dr Hyatt espically spends quite a lot of time answering people who are ask naive questions abotu chess programming taking time to answer questions about chess programming while Mogens Larsen is the one to ask about Winboard interface questions.. Dann Corbit on the other hand gives statistical lessons..on the meaning of Elo and ratings pools! >But the chances of all 3 actually being elected are actually slim. Maybe, but >figure that one to three of them will be elected. What does Los Vegas say? I suspect if many of the lurkers, or relatively newbies vote, at least 2 of them will be in...
