 I have to agree with you, Jerry. I have been asked to be a moderator in
 one of the Recovery echos on FidoNet...I am not in any Recovery programs
 but I am a member of a support group and was married to a man in AA. I have
 been "around the rooms" for almost 20 years...I do not have a compulsive
 personality but have been deemed to be fair and even-tempered by the other
 people in the echo...so I will start moderating the echo in March...
 I sure don't have the knowledge to answer all the questions but I can keep
 the echo "on topic" gently...
 Marie
