[Ansteorra] Some info on the moderation...

[Bob Dewart]

OK, interesting, but not far enough back to be concidered period. :)  Folks
make mistakes, folks pay their dues, folks go on with their lives.  Which is
I think a great idea.

I just have one question, which I hope isn't a bad one.  Are you going to
take the Northern Regional Archery Marshal, or what?  Just curious.
