technoman,
do you have a list of names that you know wish to become moderators for this site? please let us know who they are and maybe we can contact them and ask if they are in fact interested in becoming a moderator. just you going from post to post with a declaration that there are several others who deserve a status on this site is vague in its presentation.

do you have specific names, please provide the names, and have them come to the site and follow through with therules that have been see more laid down by boonex to make this a better community.

later,
DosDawg
