Dann you did a fine job, but Bruce and KD seemed to be more public in CCC, which
gives the impression that you are doing less, which maybe nowhere near correct,
but I am giving my rating of you guys.

If you gave the impression more that you took the bull by the horns, then I
would have rated you higher. Moderators are voted by how we think and see them
in CCC.

Since Bruce and KD made more public statements about issues and you made less
then it gives the impression of doing less. If all three of you did not post
about issues in the forum, then I would have rated you by who replied to my
complaint emails the best. As is, Bruce replied to about 98% of my complaints.
So I give him my highest marks. in both email and forum responses.

Bruce did do most of the "Moderation - Knock it off" posts when things got out
of hand, whereas you and KD, I cannot recall one.
