Being a moderator of a message board is a big PITA. I did it once and that was enough! I'd give the moderators here 3 and a half out of 4 eyepokes.
They can split them up amongst themselves!

Thanks for the compliment, James, but it's not all
that much of a PITA. For one thing, people who appreciate slapstick comedy tend to be smarter and more perceptive than the general population. If anyone wants to debate me on that, then let's go!
We've got a good crowd here; people come and go for one reason or another (we used to hear a lot more from Bruckman and FineBari3, for example), but it's not that hard to moderate a board where everyone is basically in agreement about their likes and dislikes.
On some other boards (which I won't name) the moderators can get Napoleon complexes and let their power to edit and ban posts and members run away with them.
That's never happened here, and I don't think it ever will, because we know better than to behave that way. This is a fun and informative site for people who love the Stooges and slapstick comedy in general, and it's going to
remain a fun site.
Rob's political fulminations notwithstanding...!
