I am not in disagreement or contention with either of the other moderators.  I
started this thread not as a moderator, but as a member who wants to make sure
that this club stays on an even keel permanently, which to me means that it
becomes a place that a) everyone can enjoy, and b) people can write posts
without having to take into account the politics of the moderators.

So in part you are right.  I do want standards to form, and I want them to form
publicly, and I want them to be so good that everyone who isn't incorrigible can
agree with them, so that there will be a group attitude about how this place
should run, so future decisions like this will be easy, obviously correct, and
rare.

But a lof ot effort was spent yesterday on making sure we didn't delete a post
that shouldn't be deleted, and very little of it was spent by me, so please
don't assume that I'm the one preventing bad things from happening here.
