     The whole point of the group is to *not* leave the 'job' to the 
     reader.  I don't know about you, but collectively we have generated
     nearly half a meg (including thousands of prospective moderator's words)
     delineating the 'job' as we now see it.  I had nearly
     a thousand lines of correspondence with you personally (just before 
     Matt posted the charter) in an attempt to assuage fears and present
     a coherent philosophy.  If it is not at least generally understood 
     by now, I know no way to do so.

     As far as the quotation goes, I hope all the moderators agree
     on what constitutes noise and what constitutes signal.  As far as
     humanly possible, I think we do.
