Always a coin toss between volume of postings with wide topics and harsh
moderation and no traffic.   Of course the moderator has great ability to
steer and has been very good at keeping things moving as we don't have spam,
cursing, personal attacks and so forth that many sites have.  We're lucky
here.  

What I would like to see is perhaps a small change whereby longtime trusted
authors can immediately respond and not be filtered.  Newbies or untested
authors can still be moderated.  This would allow a more immediate response in
cases where someone needs help in a timely manner and the moderator may not
necessarily be hovering over the keyboard 24h per day.  That would be a small
but valuable adjustment that would not affect content, just speed of the post
and the replies.
