> the week went smoothly because of the regulars who helped keep threads civil and supportive. I won’t single out specific participants for recognition, but you know who you are.
Mark suggested I email you all, but I try to avoid sending unsolicited email, so let me just thank you here. Thank you all, too!
> Several people raised questions and concerns, both on the boards and by writing to me directly... Writing directly also gave participants a way to point out problems without having to get involved in on-line conflicts.
Hmm, that's a good point, I do think anyone filling in for me should be reachable by email. But couldn't it just be an anonymous hotmail address?
> I was ... glad to have the experience. It immediately changed my entire perception of participation. I felt a lot of responsibility to be vigilant and decisive, but also to be as lenient as possible, to allow threads to develop without interference except when absolutely necessary.
You got it. :-)
> For all of these reasons, I think it would benefit the board if more of the regulars could be given the chance to take on the admin duties from time to time.
I do think we might try this again. I'm sorry if anyone felt passed over this time, but if you'd like to volunteer, let me know. Thanks again,
Bob
