Richie,

        I have found Tom to be a very competent moderator.  He many times waits
to see how things play out and then if they begin to go a bit overboard
he takes action.  I don't see his voluntary leadership of this forum as
an excercise in 'controlling behavior'.  It's a simple fact that be they
children or adults, everybody needs rules to live by.  When laws or
rights are violated, such as those violated against 'The Greatest Nation
on Earth', actions will be taken.  Though, actions that past and
presently been seen by many world members as some of the finest examples
of controlling behavior.  Welcome to the list!

                                                        By the way, I just dig that Jingoistic fervor!

                                                                                Mike Garske
