I'm sorry that you feel I'm promoting the arguing. The point of this thread was 
a simple request - moderate the email. I suspected that there weren't enough 
moderators but didn't spend the time to check. Honestly this is the Apache 
Cassandra PMC's job to maintain a healthy set of moderators, ideally in diverse 
timezones. Some may not feel 12 hours is a long time. I can only provide 
answers from most of the other Apache communities I participate in (Tika, 
Nutch, OODT, Hadoop, Solr/Lucene, Incubator, etc.) and in those communities, 
that *is* a long time. That said, this was also elevated because I saw someone 
with real questions asking them on Twitter and not on ASF lists pertaining to 
the projects (Yes there was also denigrating statements about both DataStax and 
ASF in there too). So, regarding that, the grown up thing to do (and honestly 
the "Apache" thing to do) is to bring the conversation on list, and talk, 
rather than sound off in 25+ different mediums. 

Now we've added a least one more moderator, which will help the root of the 
problem. And Kelly's email is on list. I will try and reply with my knowledge 
as a concerned ASF member first, and Board Member second. It would be great for 
the Apache Cassandra PMC and community to reply as well.

Cheers,
Chris
