I didn't say "all" - I know Stu is doing an excellent job and takes it very seriously. There are others however who appear not to be so serious about it.
We all give our time freely to help others here.

Hi Colin,
Firstly, I wasn't getting at you as such: as a rank amateur, I must say that you post frequently and seem to be pretty good to my inexperienced eyes (and (I think) to those more experienced with more experienced eyes than mine!).
I don't know the exact set up of a board like this but can imagine there are those that get rights as moderators and then succumb to life changes. They may want to be involved but simply do not have the time or whatever, yet occasionally manage to contribute.
Should you strip the low posting moderators of rights, they may feel slighted and take their skills elsewhere. I can see the frustration, but really, this isn't a 'job' and I still feel that everything given by moderators, whether frequent or infrequently active, should be appreciated for what it is, a voluntary public good to be apprecited for what it is rather than bitching about what it isn't.
BTW: Not attempting to start a war here, just trying to make moderators and other major contributors feel wanted.
Edit; Sorry Colin: Having re-read my post after hitting the submit button, I feel the 'Bitching' word was too strong and may be taken personnally by you. No offence intended.
