Thank you for volunteering your time, Ben. If anything is clear from the last several weeks it is that this list needs a moderator of some sort. I was shocked to see how quickly things degenerated, and acquired a new appreciation for the efforts of Jim and the other previous moderators. Without moderation, there has already been an influx of posts that have nothing at all to do with Vanagons (or camping, or driving, or anything that could even remotely be related to Vanagons). I can only imagine how bad it could get over time.

Personally I see no reason why Ben couldn't do a good job. I don't think we need a heavy hand here. Just someone with the authority (and time) to kill threads that are totally inappropriate - requests for donations to unrelated personal causes, politics, personal attacks, and so on. Besides, as I understand it, Ben is the only one who has volunteered.
