Re: Moderators

Twistaholics and all who tread here:

We should take a minute to thank our hard-working "moderators" in the Twist thread, one of the longest and most active on RCUniverse. They work quietly behind the scenes, reading every submission, making sure the prose is civil and the submissions are within the bounds of RCU Policies. [I URGE YOU ALL TO FOLLOW THE LINK SUPPLIED (after "Please resist the urge to curse...") TO GET THEM ALL.] Moderating is a tough but critical job--and they don't get paid for it.

On another RCU thread, I just had an unfortunate experience where the moderators, trying to keep the thread on topic, went a bit far, deleting, without notice or apology, material that may not have been specifically on topic, but did encourage the humanity, humor, and general "community" of the thread participants.

So, hats off to you MODERATING Twistaholics. You have found the perfect balance of tolerance and editorial authority--and thereby maintained the humanity of this thread, and the joy of friendly banter, creating true comrades, world-wide, in this fraternity of plane insane fliers. We owe you.
