I for one think the mods are doing really well at a job that is basically: thankless, payless and in the eyes of some appreciation less. Considering none of them make any money from it, directly, perhaps nothing more than some brownie points, this is largely a labor of love.
We on one hand are willing to accept our ill judgements, but hold the mods accountable at a higher level, forgetting that they are humans like we are and as such some times vulnerable to mistakes. I wouldn't be one tenth the woodworker I am today without the help I have obtained from the likes of Dave Anderson, Mark Singer, Jim Becker, etc. and Dennis is a legend in our neck of the woods.
I have no reason to doubt that they will do anything less than what's best for this community, as they have demonstrated repeatedly for the last several years. Let's keep SMC going in the true spirit of community that it has always been, the ripples that arise every once in a while will settle down quickly.
