Moderators are nominated by current mods & admins. So there really isn't a way to apply to become a mod.

First you put your two knees close up tight
You swing them to the left and then you swing them to the right
Step around the floor kinda nice and light
And then you twist around, twist around with all of your might
Spread your lovin’ arms way out in space
You do the eagle rock with such style and grace
You put your left foot out and then you bring it back
That’s what I call ...

oops, wrong instructions!

No, the ADA quotas are why we have someone from SWT as a mod.

The letter is more professional when you type with something other than your butt.

It's Canadian. DUH! <small>(Is that like being a Berliner?</small>

Anyway, a good way is to be a neutral poster, like me, that never offends ANYONE in the forum or wastes bandwidth!

Actually, there's nothing wrong with being opinionated. A lot of us have posted in some "hot topic" threads at one time or another with very strong opinions. It's how you express those opinions that matters. Not wasting too much bandwidth is a nice trait, though.

There are some traits that help, such as being able to see the other point of view. You don't have to agree with it, but you can't have the attitude "you are a wack job for thinking differently than me."

Just take care not to ask the question, "Is Paula Jones a Filthy Whore?" I hear that doesn't go over too well.
