- The whole point of the group is to *not* leave the 'job' to the
- reader. I don't know about you, but collectively we have generated
- nearly half a meg (including thousands of prospective moderator's words)
- delineating the 'job' as we now see it. I had nearly
- a thousand lines of correspondence with you personally (just before
- Matt posted the charter) in an attempt to assuage fears and present
- a coherent philosophy. If it is not at least generally understood
- by now, I know no way to do so.
-
- As far as the quotation goes, I hope all the moderators agree
- on what constitutes noise and what constitutes signal. As far as
- humanly possible, I think we do.
