Please let me but in, in a hope to clarify matters from a netters point of view. (I hope I will not end up by confusing them, instead). We have NOT been aware prior this that we have a new moderator. I for one welcome you heartily. I think that what Peter wrote (even if it is not for me to say), was meant in good humor. I do not think that anyone is contesting the choice (rather the contrary). Another thing (even if neither this is for me to say) is that I do not see any reason for not proceeding with the moderation asap. With all the best wishes to our new moderator. ...................................................................
