Ainae- I am on digest, so it's entirely possible someone has already
volunteered, but if not, I'm happy to do either of the latter of these
two. (Unfortunately, I live in North Carolina, so I can't help you with
the overseas moderator part.) If Pervinca wants to split up the
categorisation bit (or no longer ants it), or if you still need help
with author approval, I'm available.

As am I, so I understand what you're talking about. But it's a good
point that we have members all around the globe, and I think there
should be at least a 24-hour lag after the initial post or a 12-hour lag
from the end of discussion (whichever is longer) to allow people around
the globe to participate.

As for the other stuff, I think I've expressed my views in other emails.

Thank you! I will give you the author approval right now, if you like. I'll
wait a bit to see what Pervinca wants to do with categorization first since
I forgot about her before. I'll keep you on as a bench-warmer. How's that?

You know when I first put up all those polls I was checking them about every
hour, don't ya? I'm especially impatient with problems. I want to fix
things NOW. I do not want to wait. I do not want to hear "Our offices are
now closed" on a Friday evening and know they won't open again until Monday!
Drives me nuts. Yep, I'm impatient.
