Do we need a moderator?

[aczyzewski]

I'm for self-regulation with the exception of maintaining subject discipline in the threads- a 'moderator' could help steer folks when they start to stray off topic.

If we cannot be gentlemen (and ladies) in this forum, then that behavior should not be tolerated by the group. Maybe disagreements get two civil replies max, then you take it off line. A reminder of our shared purpose would be well timed when things start to slip. Self-regulation can handle this if we all agree to help out.
