My opinion is that we don't need more moderators. As it currently stands, you and Mig have been moderators forever and thus are respected to edit/delete/move as you see fit. If we added someone else to do that their authority might be questioned.

You are sort of like the boss. The rest of us are the workers. If one of us was promoted into a position of authority over others who were part of the peer group they might have difficulty in two ways.

One* Their authority may not carry the same weight and
Two* they may no longer be accepted as part of the peer group.

Since this is a social forum, it is often the reason and logic of the group that dictates what is and is not acceptable. When someone conflicts with the logic of the group, they are often chewed up and spit out by the collective opinion.

Just think of how many times a new member and suspected spammer has been layed to waste in a matter of hours. You never even had to say a word.

Those are my thoughts

Keep up the good work Hanford and Mig
