I'm still around but don't post as much as I used to. It's not because of the members or mods. I like this board a LOT better than others I was on which were dominated by a select few who considered themselves "experts" on everything and when those of us who weren't "experts" posted it was often pooh poohed or moderated.
I backed off on my excitement for the NFL because of the antics of the current front office. I watch, but I just don't get into as much right now because of what I think are systemic problems in the front office.
But again, this is a great forum.
It's not an easy job to be a moderator. I was kindly invited once to join the moderating team on this board, but I know I would not make a good moderator. I believe there is a tough balance to keep between disagreement and disagreeableness. One is fine in a forum the other is not. Just my opinion.
Sometimes in the past I was disagreeable and the mods brought it to my attention. I thought to myself; "Self, you *were* out of line." So I appreciated what the moderators did.
