So I noticed the moderator rules posting dated April 1 and I thought "Oh this is going to be good." But then I noticed it was just an edit. Oh well :-)

Yes, I would prefer Fred to just post a new post too, but I guess the way s/he goes about it is easier.

It was edited the same day as Fred posted the swearing reminder in the Politics forum.

However I am trying to understand exactly what was likely to cause the reaction "Oh this is going to be good."But then I noticed it was just an edit. Oh well :-) what was it you hoped Fred was going to say?

That comment and the 2 seeming to agree with you make me as a mod wonder if you wanted Fred to make some sweeping new rules, as you all seem disappointed he did not.

If the answer has to do with moderator actions please feel free to use the modlist e-mail

Yeah, I'm not really understanding what was expected either. Of course, if Fred has nothing significant to add, I can see simply editing a post instead of re-posting much of the same information.

Don't know about Pebbles, but Bam Bam is frequently picked as User of the Day a Seti Beta.

Maybe it is a late April Fools joke. And it is or has served its purpose. The pot has been stirred extra well.

Shouldn't Eric's second ban earn him more time? ;-)

I would just like to say that I have been appreciative of the mods' actions over the last number of weekends.
They have ditched posts that they felt deserved it, but have not resorted to throwing the 'b' word at me.

Thank you, mod crew.
