I will not comment on this thread or it's topic but I will as a person, a Moderator and a member of this forum voice a very strong opinion on what Gloryhound said. What follows are my feelings so take that as you may.
You have an opinion, Gloryhound, that we as staff don't do enough around here? Do you realize that I was up very early on a Sunday morning monitoring this thread and that does include every single darned word you all typed - staff doesn't get to skip posts or skim threads around here. That Judy and I spoke on the phone when we both should have rightly been spending time with our husbands and kids, that Robin and I spoke on the phone while Robin drove back from a family vacation! That every staff member here is doing the same thing, day after day? Every one of us are volunteers in service to this site we love and give far more hours a day to it than quite honestly any of us have to spare.
So we can't please every single member - could you? Are you willing Gloryhound to use your Sunday morning or your time with your family or your vacation to carefully read, discuss and weigh every single word in a thread like this? Do you want to spend the time to worry over and double check your own personal fairness level to make sure you strive with every single word you post to be what this site deserves in a staff member? Do you want the responsibility of knowing that if you do post something that's not worded exactly right, members will call you on it and your credibility as a staff member can be damaged? Do you want to have to moderate and be tough on those you call friends or do business with but you have to because it's your "job" here?
I want that even when it's tough and eats up my time so do not take this as a complaint. I love being a Mod here and the above mentioned just comes with the territory. The staff here are so dedicated and try so very hard, you have no idea. I'm extremely proud to work with this group of people. I'll be darned if I'll sit by and watch anyone say we don't do enough! We are far from perfect but we try and I think do a pretty decent job of it.
I'm sorry if I'm coming off frustrated or angry - probably because I am to some extent.
