Hi all,

Thanks for the kind words, but I'd actually not make a very good moderator and I never seek the position. For exactly the reasons that Clancy mentioned:

I'm not even that qualified to give good advice. I simply enjoy a good social waffle now and then, and am grateful for the opportunity to do it here. I also don't really have the time or commitment to do justice to the actual job of moderating. For instance, I never read all the threads on forums. It's taken me 3 days to look at this one, and it was only by sheer chance that I opened it at all. And I often disappear from forums for weeks or months on end, depending on what else is going on in the rest of my life (amazingly enough I do have one... )

I think that the moderators need a great deal of dedication to the cause and I join in applauding the excellent job that Clancy, Kirk and the team here already do.

I've still only read a very small fraction of the excellent lessons from Kirk, Fretsource, Tekker, Solidwalnut and Neilsonite but have been very impressed by the quality and the range of the information. Great work all round.

Cheers,

Chris
