re: A statement from the moderators
I'll take this opportunity to say I think all the moderators all doing a good job, and they handled this Katrina issue well. I also like the fact the Robert can now post more often as a poster (the Left needs all the help it can get:).
But also one biggest advantages I see to Moderators is dealing with spam cluttering a board- we don't get this problem at HabitableZone.
