Since Ed says that he wants two moderators per forum and he’s looking for applicants, I thought that it might be interesting to suggest who some of those might be to join the mods already there:

The BBQ Pit/Satan

General Questions/Majormd

MPSIMS/ChrisCTP and jazzmine

Great Debates/E1skeptic

About this message board/Louie

Comments on Cecil’s columns/manhattan

Comments on mailbag answers/Polycarp  
What are your suggestions?

Excellent choices, Krispy, except maybe for E1skeptic. He’s an airline pilot and probably is away 3 or 4 days out of the week.  
If I’m wrong, I wouldn’t mind seeing him in that role, even though we’ve had a couple of scuffles. He’s a pretty sharp guy.

Pretty good picks, there, Krispy.

Alternates I might suggest are:

BBQ Pit - Coldfire

GQ - Doctor Jackson or Undead Dude

Tom, of tom&debb, for any open position, although he does a great job as is. He is amazing in his clarifying ability. I really admire him.

I was all set to apply to be a mod (I spend way too much time here, anyway) when I read the requirement that you have to be 21. No fair! Sigh, oh well.

Hey, they should make Krispy a moderator. How’s that for irony?

I didnt apply to be a moderator & didn’t get choosen, is that a hint?

21? Shoot, lets not have children moderating.

Make it 30+ so at least we can count on their being some maturity.

Way cool. I’m gone for a couple of days (I’m in the San Francisco Area!) and I get nominated.

Thank you Krispy for your confidence in me.

I think I’ll go apply.
