Being a moderator is a little like being a policeman, we are not very popular sometimes until we are really needed.
I find I am overwhelmed by the shear number of threads. That's OK, our members (except for a few) are very good at helping us keep the rules intact. The judgement calls can be off now and again, but we are doing our best. Without people using the flags it would be impossible. I keep up 100% on anything posted below the Radio and Communications Forum.
I joined AAC because I like to write, and I like projects, and I even like to teach. I think my blog here is one of the better out there, when I am gone I would like to think it will live beyond me, much like Tony Roon's site and others.
Of course, I don't plan on leaving this plane anytime soon, I expect I have a lot of good years ahead of me. It is a little frustrating that a lot of projects are moving slower than I intended, but this isn't really a problem. One thing about writing, you can always pick up where you left off.
This site keeps me sane too. Without getting into details I was suffering some major clinical depression last April/May. Jim (AKA TheFox), my boy, and this site kept me going. It was a near thing. For a little while it was duty, but mostly it is fun.
I hope to get some more projects done in the near future. There are a ton of 555 articles that need writing in my head, and I've been thinking of adding new chapters in Volume VI, things like every major amplifier type made simple. When/If I do I'll probably ask people like AudioGuru and other experienced people for ideas and circuits.
I have no clue why I'm starting this thread, but hey, not everything has to have a reason. Call it a LooseWire moment.
