I say that only because I've read posts in other forums where people think they can wave the "Freedom of Speech" flag so they can get what they want, but that doesn't fly, of course.

Yes. When this retort comes, my resonse is always, 'Start paying the bills, and you can start making the rules.' In terms of this forum, Neal keeps the lights on, so to speak. We [moderators] just enforce Neal's rules to the best of our ability. Sure, some of us [me] are more direct [cantankerous] than others, but the work is not really all that difficult, as there good members outnumber the bad seeds by a great percentage in this community. 'Problem' members tend to either shape up or ship out at SubSim. Because of this, it is the only forum I visit with any regularity, and the only one that I post on, and certainly the only one on which I would consider serving as a 'mod'.
