Clarification: For about a week or two, I was the full owner of the site. In that short period of time, I took steps to restore the ownership and management of the site to Lance Venta who was the rightful heir to it. So I was an intermediary, there to fulfill Frank's last wishes that the site be maintained and always improved.
But, as a moderator... I am now at the will and wish of Lance. He sets policy and delegates to the team of moderators like Fybush and Huff and Michi and myself the responsibility of checking the boards as much as we can. Often we send "private" messages to Lance when we don't want to delete a post without consultation.
And, hehehe , I don't read every post. Tomorrow I have to be up, alert and coffee-imbibed at 6 AM to deal with an imaging refresh on some stations in Chile. That pays the bills around here; and that points out that none of us moderators make money off this and we do it for some kind of satisfaction

... as you have pointed out.
