Only four mods in the half of the alphabet from N to Z (or three, according to Colibri’s list)? There’s obvious discrimination going on! To begin to rectify this terrible situation, I’d like to nominate myself\*, Scylla, SuaSponte, and zev\_steinhardt for positions as mods. It’s time for us second-half-of-the-alphabetters to stand up for our rights! - Not out of a sense of superiority or a desire for self-glorification, you understand. On the contrary, it’s solely for the good of the Boards that I’m willing to put my natural humility and reserve aside, and shoulder this heavy burden. 😃 ---

And, I think the above clearly shows that a 10 letter moderator is desperately needed. If only I knew someone with those qualifications. ---

My SDMB coffee mug\*\* (have YOU bought YOURS yet?!?) says “STAFF”. So do I count as an ‘s’ in the list? Kidding. No idea how I ended up with a staff mug (but at least I bought one!). Unca Cecil hasn’t asked for it back, though. ---

Hmm… last of the alphabetical mods… 😃 As an aside, I asked **TubaDiva** for a moderator application about a year and a half ago.

I have a semi-serious question here. Are all these people still active? I don’t recall seeing a snarky Pit comment from **Alphagene** in over a year, and **John Corrado** seems to be MIA recently. Sheesh. When she wasn’t going to moderate anymore, **JillGat** had the decency to formally resign. Slackers. ---
