Moderator nomination thread
 

This is part one of the moderators election. (Part two is the actual vote.)

The term of office for this election is through 1/1/2009, and the number of moderators shall remain unchanged at two.

Nominate people to be voted on in the moderators election. People nominated here will appear in the moderators vote, unless they specifically say they do not accept the nomination.

Joke nominations are discouraged, only because I can't tell whether you are joking or not.

The moderator election is not a popularity contest, and everybody hopes that losers, if there are any, do not feel discouraged about the Cellar. Moderator is a harder job than it appears, only because people think of you differently if you are a moderator.

Nominations will close at 11:59 pm Eastern time on Jan. 5. If this is longer than appears necessary, it's only to make sure everyone gets a chance to see the thread and participate.

Nominations are open.

I see no reason to change from the current mods unless they no longer wish to do it.

we have mods?

...in fact all of the above are sound nominations.

looking throught the list of currently active high posters who seem to have tolerant, sensible heads on their shoulders also bubbles up

HappyMonkey and SteveDallas for me although there are a number of others who I'd be happy with too.

I think wolf has a lot on her plate lately so that's why I'm not nominating her again.

Bruce again (and Wolf if she wants it) I am a mod/admin on a big site like this one and man...it is hard work! Hardly anyone ever thanks you and if you do your job well, the general membership rarely even notices you. So thank you to the moderators and admins who have kept the Cellar running so smoothly!

Well done.

Moderating seems to take up a lot of time and leaves little time for Bruce to post these days?

I agree, Wolf seems to have her hands full and might like the idea of handing over the job.

Can we get word from Bruce and Wolf as to what their thoughts are?

If they are wanting to hand over the responsibility, I would back up Clod, SteveDallas, Glatt and add
