I like the Moderator titles, but I'm glad they came under the member title. I've always felt our moderators are just members who have very kindly taken on some extra headaches just to make it easier for the rest of us.
As to the rest of your original post, Thelma, about bombarding newer ones with many responses, when I first posted on OBT, I did NOT get many responses at first. It was as if everyone just wanted to wait and see who I was before they would dignify me with their responses. I remember that one thread I started, which had a topic I really wanted replies on, got so few responses that I then started another one with the title "Sinking like a stone!", which is what my first thread was doing. In that second thread I conveyed my feelings that it seemed only certain "popular" ones could be sure of getting a reply to their questions. THAT thread got plenty of responses!
Since I remember how bad I felt when I first began posting on OBT and got so few responses, I always try to respond to new posters on NT. Even if I cannot give them a response to their question, I like to make them feel welcome, and let them know that their threads are being read.
Hugs,
