The Moderators had a big advantage over jurors.
They had what was called "institutional memory." They had records and remembered the various tempests that came along.
They knew about people's posting patterns. They had a wealth of information to help them decide if a member was a sock-puppet or whatever.
It's very different for jurors.
Discuss.
I have a date with a surgeon...
The back story:

I will be entering the hospital on February 23, 2012, a Thursday, at 7:30 am, PST, and the surgery will happen at 9:30 am PST.
It's going to happen...
An army of giant rats saves lives...by John Converse Townsend.
Every few hours, another person is killed or maimed by a landmine. Even in areas removed from active conflict, landmines are more than just distressing reminders of former bloodshed -- they're hidden hazards that terrorize populations and freeze development.
Identifying, unearthing and disarming these explosives is dangerous and daunting. Despite record clearances, more countries deployed anti-personnel mines last year than in any year since 2004.
But one social innovator has risen to the challenge -- with the help of a few hundred friends. The innovator is the industrial engineer, Buddhist monk and Ashoka Fellow Bart Weetjens.
His hundreds of friends are sub-Saharan Africa's giant pouched rats. About three feet long and armed with a powerful sense of smell, these rats might just be humanity's best hope for moving forward with confidence.

Did you know that right now, it's already tomorrow in Hong Kong? And it's 6:33 a.m.?
I had to find out since I have a clock that shows three areas..........and I hadn't set it for a long time...
We have family there.
There is a knee replacement in my not-too-distant future...
Went to see my orthopedic MD today for a routine check...
My left knee is bad, and not getting better.
He thinks it's time to replace it.
I agree.
Next week, I go see the surgeon...
Stay tuned.
A few vibes would be really REALLY appreciated!
