Not only that - it's something that even you mention to your friends that you do
- because they would all look at you and ask the same question you just asked -
"why?"

It's not really something that you want to be -- for all the reasons above plus
more -- you just do it because "somebody" has to do it and you care enough the
club that you are willing to serve.   IMO, rotation of different members in and
out of a moderation role is good for the club.  I was going to limit myself to
just two terms - but the members may accelererate my free time and limit me to
just one term - which is fine by me.
