> A. One person as the sole administrator leaves times left without administration if that sole administrator is involved in other things that keeps him from the forum, so more administers needed.
> B. There are different types of people here , and I am one of them, that do not like some aspects of the forum and could benifit by changes being made. I am always wanting improvment for communities whether they be internet or in the city where I live. I belive in working at the lowest possible level and voicing my concerns according to the administrations guidlines to effect change. The administration guidlines here are that the moderator welcomes requests for determination and the public aspect of it is acceptable to him.

> [Mary~~~]
> The 3 "nots" after the name would be an indicator to others that the poster does not want their posts submitted on the board , but could be submitted by email. Could you offer any suggestions, if any, for administrative change? I would like to discuss them with you if you have any.

Lou,I don't have any ideas other than the one I already proposed. Your idea of posters being able to designate that they do not wish to have their posts "submitted for a determination as to the acceptability or not in respect to the guidlines of the forum" sounds like a good one to me. I could easily support that! I would be interested in seeing how others feel about that compromise.
Best wishes,
Kara
