[Electronics-talk] Moderator (was Windows versus Mac [was "RE: Question about) Talking Scale"]

[Jim Barbour]

I also think that Dave is doing an excellent job.   As moderator, Dave
gets to set the rules and we get to follow them.

If we don't want to follow the rules, we have the option to start our
own list and try and recruit people to join it.

Moderating helps keep the list interesting for *everyone*, not just
one or two people.

Please keep it up Dave,

Jim
