font-family:Arial'>The moderators are still here, we are just not moderating in
the same way we did. If we weren’t here you would not be getting the
Daily Drool Digest every day. We keep the post coming through we still have to
ok and read each and every one. We are just not intervening like we used to. If
something is really bad we still do reject and explain why. If flaming starts
we will step in and toss water on the flames. So in essence we are still doing
moderating. This list has ALWAYS been a list with rules and moderation. It will
stay that way but we are not stepping in and stopping all the little things we
did before. Please remember there are four moderators and when some one has a
post rejected because things have gone on and are now getting nasty there may
have already been post okayed, we are all in different time zones and do the
best we can. I am behind every other moderator because I live on the west
coast, I might get up check a few posts and then find something has been stopped
because the e-mail concerning this didn’t come to me until later that
morning. We are not perfect, but we all love the drool digest and work hard to
keep it running. So things are going to continue the way they have been because
we feel every thing has been going just fine. This whole Bob thing was a
mistake, plain and simple. Ann wrote and said she was sorry. She got a really
rotten personal e-mail from a drool member who hide behind a phony address and
used the name Bob. She didn’t mean to get every one going. It was sent
with out thought that Bob is a very common name she was hurt and upset. So let’s
get back to chatting about our love of bassets and have a great Howliday. In the
woofs of the late great Melba Toast ---NUFF SAID.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
