In the forwarded note at the bottom, Danny Click asks that the moderators resign.
1) If all of us resign, the list ceases to exist; Yahoo requires that there be a moderator. 2) For ALL who are unhappy with the volunteer work being done to keep this list running, are you volunteering to help? Are you making sure that you are not causing problems that require moderator action? The moderators DO have much else they would rather be doing with their spare time, we would LOVE to have less moderating to do; many of the "moderating" notes are regarding lack of courtesy on the list, some are regarding off-list topics that have not been approved by the moderators (which is also a type of discourtesy), a few are regarding internet or Yahoo problems. When the moderators are slow to react to problems, some problems become large and we are told that we are not moderating enough. When we react quickly while problems are still small, we are told that we are moderating too much. We appreciate helpful input, but the unhelpful complaints from both sides have made the difference between "too much" and "too little" moderation almost zero. I am therefore passing list ownership on to Mark Plank, who will continue to have help from David Dewey who has been back-up list owner for a LONG TIME and Bill Lane has been quickly taking on additional duties in the last year. If anybody else wants to help with moderator chores, I'm sure that Dave, Mark, and Bill will be glad to hear from you. Even better, help them out by not giving them non-value-added work to do. You are grown-ups, the list should not require help from the moderators to keep things civil and ON TOPIC. Whether or not you are interested in promoting S scale, your activity on this list IS showing our scale to others. You can make S attractive by making this list a helpful fun place. You can make this scale unattractive by mis-using this list. Most of you have become members since the list rules were formalized. When you accept list membership, you are agreeing to follow the list rules. If you don't like the list rules, find a different list or talk to the moderators off list. On-list complaints and making up your own rules are exceedingly counter-productive. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
