Would that be a sensible thing to do, Shambles? No, I don't think so. If that were the case, I might as well do the editing myself.

Yes you may as well and maybe you should? Maybe it should be limited to only where a poster asks you to do some editing on their own postings?

- Joe I don't know if it is sensible or not - it is what you told me on the following thread.

The JoeClones are supposed to make corrections only in situations where the need is quite obvious. If there's a judgment call to be made, they should refer it to Joe or Jeff. Jeri fills in when Joe and Jeff aren't around.

As stated in the thread, the Veterans' Day thread was split by a JoeClone. I probably wouldn't have split the thread myself, but I can certainly see the reason behind the split. And even though it was split earlier in the day, I refused to move later political comments because they were posted in response to other comments made in the thread.

As everything is a judgement call - what is it? Who can do what and when and are the other appointees really supposed to get your permission first - before they take action?

How many appointees are there - who are they and how does one get appointed?

As we cannot see what hat they may be wearing - when these appointees post to express their own opinion - shouldn't these post carry a disclaimer like - The views expressed in this post are not necesarily those of the management?
