I agree, and I don't say that as a moderator but as a regular user - I've been here for three years, and my moderator status is still fresh from the oven. The level of politeness seen is this forum is almost unheard of on the internet.
And I am very grateful (now speaking as a mod) that you agree with that, and that we can have this meta conversation about what we can't say (and why) in a civilized manner
Addendum: there are hiccups, sure, and when you become a moderator you notice them more. But I've always held the moderating team in great respect for the way they (now "us") handle things.
