It is nice to see more people step up and notice this problem I was posting
about from day one. I also do not like the moderation style and said it would
hurt CCC and I think it has. I don't always agree with you Bruce, but if you run
for moderator next term you would have my vote. I did not find one thing unfair
in the last group's moderation style.
