A Thank you to the new Forum Moderators Message About 'Goodness'
Most of you regular forum members are of high integrity and provide invaluable contributions. Without mentioning names, so as not to insult anyone, the majority of you are now forum moderators. For one, I very much appreciate all of you for bringing back 'goodness' to the forum. Its not that the forum lacked goodness simply because all of you, in your own way, added 'goodness' to the forum in your posts.
One important thing I see is there is a friendly kinship between moderators. From where I stand, on the outside looking in, the kinship seems to have started in the Off Topic forum. Now that most of you are now moderators I see that same kinship and goodness across the board. IMO, that is a good thing and may be one the best things that has happened in a long time.
Gabriel certainly found "The Next Big Thing" when he decided to make you all moderators. Though IMO he could certainly scale it up by making Frank a moderator. Then I could have someone to place the blame on though I am still on the fence if he is actually a Bot or Not, lol.
Of course there are forum members that are not Mods and they may not want to be a Mod. That is another good thing in many ways. For one, they do not have dog in the fight aka a vested interest in how the forum works (good or bad is subjective), so they feel free to post free from bias. They may also enjoy moderated topics because they appreciate the 'goodness' that Mods bring to the table.
To summarize what I am trying to say..
"Thank you for the breath of fresh air and goodness that you bring to the forum."
