Sure Luc,
We are addressing the issues now, and as I have learned, Laura's post was impulsively deleted NOT for her very respected comments and observations, but for some of the further posts that had occurred after her initial request for comment.
Laura has been notified, and her post was placed back where it belongs... for all to see and respond to. Thank you Laura, we all appreciate your comments, suggestions, and great stories (UPS :LOL
As much as it seems that we have full time moderators, I am quite sure that all have many other responsibilities, and my hope would be that they would, in fact, answer the e-mail when they have a fee moment.
I would appreciate you understanding, and all others, that this has been a learning curve, as has occurred many times from the infancy of this website to the present version, and that changes are being made, and a new description of website protocol, including a more defined set of rules, a clearer moderation policy, and even a few words on acceptable signatures, etc are being prepared for everyone to see.
Yes, it took longer than originally expected, and it might take a few weeks to work out the bugs...but it will happen, and I would be glad to hear all your comments (both negative, and hopefully positive) as you experience the new plan. We will have an area where you can express your opinions publicly, but you're always welcome to e-mail privately as well.
Hope this helps.
Oh, and by the way, please call me Joe (kind of scares me to think that I'm old enough to be called "Mr Houss")
