So there was a discussion, not a coronation?

Went down like this:

If anyone is interested in moderating this board (without an agenda), please drop me a PM at your convenience.

My A: 22713880

Allen Murdock would be my pick. I have yet to see him lose his cool and all his posts exhibit evenhandedness. Hope he drops you a line!

Followed by discussion, then Allen took over, fair and square.

At the time, nobody dreamt up anything better for sucession. Or since then, apparently.

Ergo, should have gone exactly the same way, this time around: if it works, why fix it.

Looks like some of the posts on the Apple thread questioning the process of moderator selection have been removed. Posts from Doren and Win-Lose-Draw are gone, probably others as well. Dmitry then comes in and says the board is owned by SI and that Clean was selected "in the best interest of SI" and that's that. Wonderful. Now we can't even decide who moderates a thread even if the participants pick one. What a joke!
