I can't think of anymore reasons for having invited only moderators... Like Andy Baker said, there are lots and lots of students out there in FIRST capable of giving great answers. I can already think of 20 more people who could be great answerers

This sort of frustration described by Krass, Jon, Cory, and Bill is what I feared when I suggested that we keep this open.

I had a feeling that there would be some ruffled feathers due to the limitation of choosing moderators. I should've been more vocal and went with my gut about not holding this to a limited number of moderators... sorry.

However...

(I'm going with my gut here again)

I do feel that many posters in these excellent forums do need some advice on getting their points across while being respected.

1. Make your point concise.
2. Keep your emotions in check.
3. Try to keep your posts from being one big paragraph.
4. If someone provides information that may change your opinion or disprove yours, it's ok to say "yeah, I was wrong". Heck, I still do this... see, I am wrong for not being concise in this point. heh.
