In defense of this forum,

I am sorry you feel like you have to defend the forum from me. I don't feel like I was attacking the forum.

I will not go into what happens behind closed doors (like the BOD meetings). But if memory serves Michael, you were the one who said, I quit as Editor, as it’s just to much stress. That means IMO, you have just resigned from the BOD. I was very sorry for your actions and I believe I sent you e-m’s to that intent. To my knowledge at this point, you have not stepped forward to anyone on the Board, that you still wish to be on it, in any office.

It had been pointed out that I wasn't a member of the board. I didn't say that I "quit" as editor. I agreed to help as "co-editor." Alan had too much to do to continue as co-editor and I didn't have time to do it all myself as things have changed for me in my work life. Therefore, I suggested that someone else take on the position. When you write that I "quit" it makes it sound like I did it because I was displeased with the job. That isn't the case. I just do not have the time to do it justice. I hope that makes sense.

By reading the first post of this thread (by Alan, the Pres.), he explains what he is doing and that was to make all ‘known’ BOD’s as moderators. If your not on the Board…., then that does not include you. (Read the above again.)
I for one was not asked, nor received any communication that Alan was going to do the above. I disagreed w/ it as soon as I read it (here) and so have resigned myself from that position, as of this date.
I have no problem being removed as a moderator. I was miffed that I didn't have any warning about it. I realize Alan didn't think it was a big job. Still, it was one I took seriously and I did make it a point to do it to the best of my ability.

See my above comments about being on the board.

You are a good member of the board and you would be a good moderator.

Again Michael, I deeply regretted your being stressed, but can understand how life can do things to us that we don’t expect. But.., we do have to be responsible for our actions and therefore, when you removed yourself from the BOD…., you were out of the loop. Sorry…., I have missed you there.
