No, no.  *I'm* not untrusting of Scarecrow.  I voted yes for r.a.a
(though, as Colin Douthwaite says, I can always change my vote :).  It
just bothers me that people seem to be jumping on an99451 mainly for
being anonymous.  I'm just defending their right to be anonymous, and
their right to question Scarecrow's suitability as moderator.

I don't think it was vicious character assassination, any more than I
think people who distrust U.S. President Clinton's character are being
disloyal.  Being a moderator is rather like holding a public office
(except you don't get paid).  The concern that an99451 raised is not
groundless; there's a long record of problems with moderators in
general.  I vaguely remember hearing about recent problems with
soc.religion.islam, which I think is why alt.religion.islam was
created in February.

I think Scarecrow will do a fine job, but even if this is all a plot
by Scarecrow's Committee to Assure Rec.arts.ascii Eventually
Captivates Readers Over the World, it's no big deal.  We can always
retreat to alt.ascii-art.

(An obAscii.  I'm running out of vaguely presentable stuff in my
scratch pad.  Gotta go make some more...
