Short answer: no.

Long answer: I think it important that everyone who cares about computer chess
should contribute in some manner. This is not that difficult of a way to do
that. However, at the same time, I have earned both animosity and respect from
different people here. So, I feel sad that some people take moderation so
seriously that they have hard feelings while at the same time, it feels good
when an occasional person says thanks.

I think the most difficult thing for me to have learned doing this is that
everyone thinks differently. No matter how I read a message, someone else has a
drastically different take on it. So, there is always the possibility of
conflict. Many people think of moderators as people who delete nasty messages.
But, in reality, moderators are people who attempt to smooth out rough edges so
that everyone can communicate and get along.
