It seems the people have spoken and would like me to moderate. I will gladly do the job the best I can. I know there are concerns about me being a regular poster in the forum, but that shouldn't be an issue. As I've stated before, the moderation of P&R is a delicate thing. It's a place for divisive topics and so things can get heated. I don't ever think less of those on the opposing sides of my arguments and I value to forum as a place to speak freely about the opinions of current events.

That is awesome news Matt ... er Belsnickel

So, it seems there's been an agreement on the mod. I will get the forum up soon.

I've never been in the camp that a moderator, even on a divisive board, shouldn't be able to post regularly--as long as he's shown to be level-headed and fair; which you are.

So, enough with that silly talk.
