   Our moderationn team has changed and morphed over the years. Amy   
   graciously stepped up and volunteered to take up the mantle and has   
   worn it with aplomb for quite some time.     
      
   Jan also volunteered but technical issues with our software don't   
   allow her to actively moderate.  She does get to see all the behind   
   the scenes goings on.  I still moderate on occasion as does Jay   
   (mostly he just deals with the technical stuff), usually when Amy   
   isn't available. I've been sick a lot this past year unfortunately so   
   haven't paid as much attention to this newsgroup as I normally   
   would. I usually check for traffic and let Jay know if things seem to   
   be stuck.  He does have a full time job including keeping up with new   
   programming languages and such when he is at home.  Amy and Jan both   
   also have real lives andd aren'ttied to a chair focusing on this   
   newsgroup.      
      
   Sometimes things get dropped. The nature of usenet is such that   
   sometimes bits pass into the outer darkness. There are fewer and fewer   
   relays for usenet nowadays as well so if one goes down, things get   
   delayed.  But we can always be reached via email.     
      
   Also, we are real people.  Jay and I frequently attend conventions and   
   would be more than happy to meet anyone from the newsgroup.Then you   
   can report back that we aren't actually power mad ogres. Or maybe we   
   are.
