Not so.....in all the years I have run this forum, which is over 20 years, I have "moderated" it 
a total of 6 times, and only when a "discussion" between two members got a bit "heated" 
and really should have been carried on off-list.

That continues. 

Please don't mistake the changes I am making with this NEW forum for moderation. This 
forum is quite new to me and I have at least as much to learn about running it as you do 
using it.

I comment a lot, because I am at least as interested in this topic as all the rest of you. After 
all, I began this forum and have supported it as well as I could for, as I said, at least 20 
years.

Why would I try to screw it up now?

Also, I always "trim" my posts, and I am sorry if some of my own "trims" loses some of the 
context of a discussion of which I am a part. That is not my intention. 

Oh. And one more thing: **I** am the only "moderator". There are no others.

Please do not mistake comments by others here on how the forum is being, or should be, 
run as "moderation". I will do what I hope is for the best interests of everyone here.

Including dumping the digest....
