Sometimes a hot potato just disappears, thanks to Frederick, without any other moderator knowing what happened. I have often offered my considerable Net expertise for free as a moderator but been refused. They ask for volunteers often but only for the 'junior' positions. Frederick love power and is not willing to give up what he has built over so many years. I don't blame him Only wish he would be open about his actions. -------------------------------------------------------------------
Cecil, I can understand the concept of 'disappearing' hot potatoes. This is a natural event that can happen to anyone but somehow happens a lot to people FN is not in good books with. Where you and me lose though, is when a first time writer tries to but cannot post on to Goanet. I have had people ask me for guidance when they experienced this and apart from saying "Welcome to the club" the only other pointer I could give is for the author to post his material in other forums (that I am on). The people who have authored the most interesting posts on Goanet have simply left. Cornel was one of the first to do so and even though we are poorer for that, I still admire his resolve. There are very few intellectuals who will stomach an anonymous or irresponsible moderator. Lastly, I have no respect for anyone who will cling on to a position for umteen years even when he gets repeated feed back that it is time to go. Bob Mugabe rings a bell? MervynonthewaytoSanJose BTW, how difficult is it to acknowledge the person who volunteers even a few hours of his/her day to Goanet. Why can't their spirit be acknowledged here?
