 IMHO, you have taken on a "hot potato".  Did you ever find "Native

 Ah, the tightrope walk of an "expert".  Just by becoming the "moderator"
 you have placed yourself in the "expert" position in the eyes of _some_
 people and will constantly be trying to "explain" your "philosophical
 position". (At least that has been my experience.)
 To bring you up to date on the "other" service and it's Native American Art
 section... There have been NO messages for _days_.
