We are clearly in need of a moderator on this thread...
So let me be the pathetic mod who wants to be nice to all and may get carried away but still wishes to perform his duties.
(And just to make it clear: no there's no inspiring example of that here in the 'Downs but it is more than easy to imagine one - a nerd who's gained a few years of age and is still fanatic of his subject the forum is about, and loves the stature of a mod as something he has accomplished in his life, but when he would have to act he's more than unable to do it...)
