The silence from the moderator -*-wait for obligatory wikipedia link:** http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#Moderator*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#Moderator> *) sorry I could not resist. Hilarious from Tim!*-- is deafening! *Kiggs, what gives? * Do you need a deputy to enforce rules? What rules, you say? Well then, to create some and inform us all about the boundaries, etc on the list? And also maybe to send us reminders on the rules and close threads and send misbehaving people to another room etc etc?
