Moderator?

[BreadWinner]

What is a moderator? I thought it was somone who monitors the the chat too see it is on topic. This is a Commodity Market forum not a Political, CWB rant, Summer Party planner, or a Parsley blog advertising page. When was the last time someone posted somthing ABOUT MARKETS? THEY ARE TANKING AND WE ARNT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THEM. Oats under $1.70, Canola getting closer to $8.00, Yellow peas cant get over $6.00, not even goint to talk board grains because that cat is dead, are these prices the worst we are going too see or should we be contracting as fast as we can before they catch up with oil.

If you have an idea how to encourage real marketing topics, I am all
ears. As with markets, demand is what ultimately drives what is
posted.

Perhaps new directions and topics require new ideas and new
thinking. I would appreciate any suggestions (send to Joe Dales)
about another moderator or more. Lee Melvill requested to have his
name pulled off the side given his new world about six months ago
with no action to date - something about being hardwired into the
programing.

By the way, not offended. Realize I may be part of the problem but
none the less ask the same question you have every day. The only
suggestion I have is for you to post the questions/comments on
market topics. If there were 5 market topics for every 1 CWB policy
rant versus the other way a round, the make up of Agri-ville
participants would change. You have to be prepared for no
responses but you have to keep trying.

Why do you need a moderator to start a new topic?

I hope you don't feel the CRTC needs to regulate the Canadian internet too.

Breadwinner,

1.Please scroll down the entire page of topics.I believe I have initiated approximatley eight of them

And how many have you initiated?

2.And yes I do have a blog. At agriville's invitation, I might add. Agriville actually set it up for me in its' entirety. And also invited me to make a link to my blog on EVERY posting, which I do not do.

The good thing is you do not have to click on Parsley's Notebook.


3. The third thing is your topic,
"Moderators" You will not find a better moderator, or more dedicated, than charliep. He is supremely knowledgeable, and your kind of comments are debilitating, and unfair to him. charliep would never defend himself, he is much too much of a gentleman, but I have no qualms about defending his remarkable dedication.

I'll thank him for you, since it is, indeed a thankless job.

4. The good thing about a thread, breadwinner, is the person posting, such as yourself, can chose what we wants to talk about. I notice you didn't chose peas or oats or canola. You chose moderators. I presume that is where your interests lie.

If you want to discuss peas, post a thread about peas. I am replying because your topic is moderator.

And stay off the topics we post that you don't like. It's so much nicer for the rest of us.

I will add one more thing, breadwinner. This site is not simply a forum to discuss prices. It is where both real and virtual friends meet. I've never met hopperbin, or silver or boarderbloke, or Northfarmer or wilagro,etc. but I'd very much enjoy it if I did. I have met chaff and gregpet and adamsmith and wedino and tom4cwb, etc and enjoyed it immensely

We have virtual coffee together. We meet. We have conversation. Just like in real life. We're not perfect; rather we are like characters in Cheers.

So, uh, Lighten up, Rebecca. lol

Chill out Bread, there is nothing stopping you or anyone else from starting a thread about what you're interested in.

But trying to shut down other peoples interest's and conversations here isn't going to win you any friends.

Breadwinner,

I am in awe. Did you mean what you just wrote?

We just hit a market down draft... that most here don't find at all unexpected... with oddles of opportunities to sell old and new crop at decent prices over the past month and a half... and you blame us?

Markets go up and down. That is a fact of life. Please don't blame us!

Now... go have a GOOD day!

Grin (> :{

PS... I think Charlie & Joe do a great job herding cats... really... don't you?

[SASKFARMER3]

Breadwiner Did you read my topics.
Drought Argentina - effects canola
GMC Bankrupt - Effects people
US dollar collapse - HM would that cause some problems for you.
ETC ETC ETC>
And where were your topics?

[cottonpicken]

Pars why did you take mees debate off your website?

[BreadWinner]

SF3 sorry to include you in the group, I allways read your posts they are interesting and informative. I guess I am just sick of talking CWB&^&^$&^spit on the floor. My parents have allways said "get used to it we will never get a rid of it". I thought they were just not forward thinkers but now Im starting to think they might be right. It might just be imposible to get rid of. Hope the markets spring back up to take the stress off next years crop. Maybe somday hell will freeze over for willgro and burburt and we will get our turn.
