Re: the group moderator from 1994-1999 is back again

October 15, 2007

Hello Ira-

I do not think that their is a moderator right now, or if there is, they

haven't said anything in a long time. So, I believe that would make us

moderator-less. It is very kind of you to offer to be the moderator, but I

actually

think that we are okay without one. Of course this is just my opinion and I

sometimes have trouble biting my tongue when politics are occassionally

discussed, but I still think we are okay sticking with how things are now. I

personally like the feeling of everyone being on the same playing field. It is

really

great though that you have re-joined the group! I would love to hear more

info. on the story of your health, etc.!

Take care!

Ira, you said:

hello group members

my name is ira fine, and i am very supportive of dr hulda clark's

theories. back then, it was an egroup. that was before merged

with egroups. i was apppointed as this group's moderator by dusan of

norway back around 1994. due to certain bad situations in my private

life, i was unable to continue as moderator, in part, because it

moderating these groups does take a lot of time. i actually was not

doing what i needed to do, and knew how to do it for my own

hypothyroidism condition, and my own health had deteriorated because

of that.

i had asked dusan to remove me as moderator, and i thought that he had

done so, as my password no longer seemed to work, and i was not able

to even access my , even as just a subscriber. well, to

bring you up to date, i came across the information i need to access

this group as a moderator.

is there another person who presently is moderating this group? i do

not want to step on that person's toes. however, if the group is

totally otherwise lacking a moderator, i am willing to assume certain

of those tasks, but i cannot be as active as had been previously. i

just did approve several pending messages.

i can be contacted directly at iramfine@...

Even if vocal members of this group would prefer the group to remain

" moderatorless " , it would be good if there were SOMEONE who would

administrate background tasks, such as memberships, etc.

It took me something like a month just to get my new membership and

posting privileges. I had questions that I really needed an answer to

much faster than that, and I was completely unable to get any response

from the supposed " list owner " .

I, for one, would love it if there were a moderator or an adminstrator

of some kind that will actually be somewhat responsible for the group.

Whoever has been doing it is not doing a good job, in my opinion.

good point. maybe there is just no one to contact? does someone know how

to find out?

my mother just died this morning and I don't think I am qualified to figure it

out.

I am on one moderated group and it really sucks. the group is only as smart

as the moderator. maybe something can be changed so that ppl can automatically

sign up here.

Hi Gracia,

A good moderator does not attempt to be an authority figure or tyrant.

He merely tries to keep the peace so that discussions go smoothly and

without strife. Additionally, a good moderator should try to keep

troublemakers out, people who only seem to be interested in starting a

fight or trying to turn the group away from its charter.

I actually managed to talk to Ira via IM last night about these

things, and he agreed on these points above.

In a forum with a good moderator, it is rare to see decent discussion

stifled or members removed if they discuss politely and are sincere in

joining the group to learn and ask.

I'd like to add that sometimes people try and join this group and can't

because they don't receive approval. We need someone to do this.
