Lay off Joe. He is doing an excellent job in a situation requiring an extremely delicate balance. I suspect none of the critics would like to have his job, which comes close to a classic "damned if you do, damned if you don't" conundrum. What did Lincoln say about pleasing all of the people all of the time

Was it Lincoln who also said: "if you can't stand the heat – get out of the kitchen"? Perhaps not.....

However, it was Jeri that said: Keep in mind that perhaps the LAST person you want deleting stuff is somebody who says "Ooh, let me do it...I WANNA do it!"

For it is not a job. Joe is both a long-term contributor and well-intentioned volunteer, and it should be remembered no one is forcing him to place himself in the firing line and there is no shortage of those willing to replace him, should he ever decide to step down.
