brucie & Clinton..especially Clinton...you are missing the real point of Joe's post...which is...the fewer probelms to moderate, the easier it is to DO a minimum of moderating. If everyone 'reserves the right' to "give as good as they get" and little spats are going on on multiple threads, etc., then it is easy for moderators to miss some!

Damn it, Clinton...the fact that Joe has the title .."job"... of chief moderator here, does NOT mean that he is paid and on call 24/7!...nor any of the other JoeClones!...They are not here to follow the horses and elephants in this parade, cleaning up all the droppings.

If the pettiness, name calling, complaining, trolling, bickering...and just plain refusal to sit down, shut UP and let certain subjects drop were to diminish by 87.437%, (except for the GGs and Martin Gibsons and a couple of guests who will ALWAYS go out of their way to be trouble)....we could ALL study more music and talk about civil stuff....like recipes for Artichoke pie and where to find a good used car.....

Go back...*READ* what Joe said again...carefully....the part about "The only way to maintain the peace around here is for the participants to be peaceful."....
