I think the Moderators have actually done a pretty good job in recent months. In the beginning the current group seemed a little to quick to hit the delete button for my tastes IMHO. But this is a moderated forum and heaven knows one man's trash is anothers treasure. So there will always be friction, controversy and cries of unfair treatment where men/women (moderators) have to make decisions on what is acceptable behavior. I would like to take this time to thank the Moderators for their serving this past year. It is a demandng, thankless job and anyone who thinks he/she wants it needs to check into the nearest sanitarium......:)This is an important time for everyone at CCC. I hope everyone does their homework and votes !! TP
