CJ , I am sorry!!!!

I think focussing on the word "hired" in a financial sense display's a certain naivety - unless of course it is meant to deflect from the real issues, when it would display a certain strategy

There are many methods apart from money which can be defined as forms of "payment".

Your first sentence is 100% correct, but the point being made is that there is a quantum difference between the will and whim of "members" and that of "moderators".

Shit, on of the moderators in an earlier post in this thread referred (well at least inferred) that moderators here are part of management.

If the needs and wants of management versus "workers" were that synergistic, where did unionism come from? A bit off topic yes, but a valid analogy to make a point.

My 2c.

If the moderator referring/inferring that moderators are management is Newton then I must clarify that as Oprano C.E.O he is in fact management and correct in his statement. The rest of the moderators are not management and we all know this.

Something that is being missed is the fact that the moderating team were active posters before they became moderators. No one has been shipped in to help with the running of the board in anyway.

the point being made is that there is a quantum difference between the will and whim of "members" and that of "moderators".

This is definitely the area that needs to be focused on. This is meant to be the members board and that’s the way it should be. Moderators shouldn’t influence it’s day to day running, but they are a necessary evil. As I’ve pointed out though we were posters before becoming moderators, so posting is what we do.

If I’m missing something, I’d appreciate it if you would point me in the right direction.
