OK. Lets start with the definition of "moderator" according to Webster's:
1 : one who arbitrates : MEDIATOR
2 : one who presides over an assembly, meeting, or
discussion: as a : the presiding officer of a Presbyterian
governing body b : the nonpartisan presiding officer of a
town meeting c : the chairman of a discussion group
1. Is a good description of moderator at times.
2. Is a far better one. And that would be the one that fits best, here at
CCC. It would seem perfectly normal to tell someone that they have stepped
over the bound in choosing poor subject lines. That is what the chairman of
a discussion group ought to do, IMHO. Because proper subject lines clearly
makes the discussions more productive.
And yes it is easier to tell someone _else_ how to moderate than it is to
do it yourself.
