May as well nominate >Bill Clinton, oh almost forgot you can only nominate by email ohh almost >forgot 2, you can't nominate after being a member for just one month. Bob Green posts in r.g.c.c. I think that nothing is served by this kind of post. If someone says something weird here, the initial thought is always, "This could be Sean or Chris, watch out." But that doesn't mean that this, or something like this, should be *posted*. Anyone can do a degree of checking for themselves. You can see the email address, and you can go search Google. When people post before doing this it makes us all seem paranoid. And really, you shouldn't be making this kind of post unless you are a moderator (and probably not even then). Which reminds me that I promised to nominate *you* for moderator, so with some luck I can pay you back a little bit. To Mr. Green: I don't know if you are familiar with the early history of CCC, but CCC was founded to get away from Rolf and a few others, so I hope that you can understand the kind of reaction you are likely to receive if you start talking about nominating him to moderate. To those who want to have a cow because of this: If you want the group to be moderated the way you want it to be moderated, volunteer to do it yourself. If you can't or won't do this, and I think that it is pretty weak not to if you have been a regular poster for a long time and have never done it, at least vote for people who a) you think would be good moderators, and b) you think would work well together. I'm comforted by the knowledge that regardless of what happens, this group will get the kind of moderators that it deserves. bruce >Maybe next time. > >Sarah.
