    My Resignation

    Due to a matter of competing priorities I find myself compelled to resign as a Moderator on this board. I would like to thank those who offered support as well as those who offered criticism. I have learned from you all. Best wishes.

    This is awful to see two moderators leave in a matter of a day. I thought you did an excellent job,but I understand why you are resigning.

    Bravo.... to what TimD and Abner have said above.

    To George and Jack:

    Good morning. You will be sorely missed as DI Moderators. You were great in that role, and although I do understand, I am sorry to see you give up those functions.

    But please, do not give up on participating here on DI!

    Miss you, I will, as Moderators, but I refuse to miss your valuable and often excellent posts on DL and online education , here at DI.

    Thanks for everything, Gentlemen!

    Carry on, all!

    Thanks.

    Being a moderator is not about power (though some think it is). Also, being a moderator is much tougher on a busy forum than what most people realize. People constantly PM you with real complaints... and you (as a moderator) have to address each and every one of them. So you may log-on expecting to enjoy yourself and visit all your favorite websites to make a few postings, but instead you get tangled-up in answering all those PMs for 30 minutes each and every day. It's much tougher than what most people realize!!! And if a post is deleted, people get very angry!!! Resolving problems is almost impossible, which creates stress for those involved.

    Jack, you are a major loss. It really pities me to see you go. I hope you still stick around, and somehow keep linked to the board (even if it is just as a regular poster...).

    It is entirely wrong to continue to list George and Jack as moderators in the opening page of the individual forums.

    I reiterate my great respect for George and Jack and my best wishes to them.

    I have every confidence that they know what they are doing.
