Aww gee, shucks ...
Now I have to be nice to everybody...
I must say that of late I have been so ornery, especially with some of the Indian members (and one US one )that I didn't think my moderating was very good at all.
Maybe it really isn't, and its just that no one wants to get on my bad side ..
Personally I look up to all the senior mods and admins on the forum - Webby, Neo, Asim, Blain, Keys, A Rahman ... they have all done a fantastic job with the forum - the look, interface, forum policies, moderation etc.
Trust me, its hard staying fair, open minded and allowing diversity of opinion, especially when it goes against your own, and especially on a defense forum, where it is so easy to be blinded by nationalism. The team usually balances out moments when one of us feels like clamping down, by cooling down tempers and letting saner and rational heads prevail.
But thank you all for your kind words, and please try and keep in mind that mods make mistakes as well - we are but human.
