   The ONLY slightly snarky bit of her entire lengthy post was the last four w=   
   ords of the last paragraph.  And incredibly mild snark at that.  If it were=

   Believe me, while we appreciate her entirely volunteer efforts, most of us =   
   simply don't think much about the mechanics of moderation at all. And as yo=   
   u say, speculative reasons were given.  It's not as if this discussion is e=

   Oh, you do.  But it's your karmic debt to accrue so do as you will.  Must b=

   Now then...how about you either drop it or talk about the actual thread top=
