Having read Markus' posts I would not want him being a moderator of this list. All of the off topic threads are coming from him. On topic posts are being taken off topic by him into some personal vendetta he has against Microsoft. Making him a moderator of this list would be like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. Bring Markus back on topic and no moderator would be needed. I would repeat what I said in a previous thread. Microsoft bashing simply done for the sake Microsoft belongs somewhere else. There are plenty of "I hate Microsoft" blogs, newsgroups, email lists, and forums to post to. This is NOT one of them.
