Or so some thought.  My moderating style is as different from Bob's as
night is from day.  I've been a moderator for a long time now.

It was he who began the talk about the echo needing a moderator.  I was
really surprised the echo was still on the backbone without a moderator for
so long a time.  We (the posters) were perfectly happy to let things go on
as they were before the flap about a moderator started.  Once that
situation stabilized, we began a search for Bobby Queen.  Several things
came to light about him and I don't know if any of them are correct.
