Thanks Ken, One observation tho, if the Intervention moderator is now the primary moderator for Geo, doesn't that mean that Geo has become Intervention? These type of online groups are as much a reflection of the moderators strengths and limitations as they are a reflection of the overall membership's strengths and limitations. With Andrew at the helm, I can only say to the Geoengineering side, "Welcome to Climate Intervention". In either case, I do enjoy the educational aspects of the work presented and I thank ALL of the moderators for their time and effort. Any group which publicly discusses the moving of the Moon to Earth/Sun L1 is, in my opinion, worth being a member of and worth getting mail from.
Thanks and congratulations to Andrew for the promotion.
