Say hello to our new moderators!

We had a good response to our call for moderators, and it was extremely difficult to narrow the field down to 26 people. We had to turn down a number of very qualified people. We hope that everyone who applied to serve as a moderator this turn will consider applying again in two months.

As usual, we've got a number of new people who have never moderated before. These folks are going to need a few days to learn the ropes, so cut them a little slack and please try not to make their lives too difficult. ;-)

Please take a moment to say hello to our new moderators, and to express your gratitude to our retiring moderators.

HERE ARE YOUR MODERATORS FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS:
