Here here. I also responded to the moderators echoing these sentiments.
This list is refreshingly succinct, professional, and helpful. I
volunteered and still volunteer to be a moderator. I'm not a whiz, but I'm
competent and have managed large databases of people in the past. I realize
the moderators want to move on, and I can understand wanting a change of
pace. But turn it over to us. Just tell those of us who volunteered to be
moderators what to do, and we'll do it. For the record, I never heard back
from the moderators when I sent in my thoughts and offer to help moderate.
Perhaps this more public discussion of the subject will bring some action.
We're running out of time!
