Ime, that's really the moderator's role in most cases -- to wag a finger when the doggies start marking rocks and growling. When mods are primary particpants, that's a plus but not a necessity so long as there are other active members on the (sub) forum. In fact, it looks more "demogratic" if the folks running the show aren't the main participants in the discussions. Technical support forums are an exception to this - on those it's nice to have a company rep at beck and call. However, the really good tech help forums have non-company folks that lend most of the support. The mod isn't the local wizard, just moderates. Like the modertor at a debate, other folks ask and answer. sh sh --- Cheryl Rogers <cheryl@rightstuffwebsites.com> wrote: > Ummm... you can ask.
