Except I can't edit posts. Also, our moderators have no mandate to answer your questions.
If you pitch in and help, don't create too many flames then after a year or two you may get noticed and asked.

I wonder what proceedure one has to go thru to be a moderator and what qualifications you need to have.
Thank you.
