There isn’t a lot I can tell about myself as I feel I’m just your average person. Like many here I consider myself an active member participating in sharing and learning. This is a unique board for SML that stands alone and should never be compared to other boards. Doug’s also has a unique quality provided by members and integrity that I enjoy being exposed too. For now, I hope this atmosphere of harmony continues without interruption. I was a little surprise when asked to become a moderator and wasn’t sure at first. I then also remembered my comment about the role of Moderators, okay I felt I needed to put my money where my mouth was so to speak. Obviously, I accepted.
I have also learned of the upset on Doug’s board a while back. So now we have another Muzzle-loading Board. Here-in some conflicts have developed. Members keep in mind Doug’s stands alone as a separate identity. We don’t share standards or activities or same values so please don’t try to apply these here unless you want Moderator attention. Please keep in mind Moderators are participating members until circumstances require to take on the role of Moderator. I don’t normally consider myself as an authorative member unless called upon by circumstances. Also, I don’t proclaim to make any major changes for betterment, only the members can accomplish this.
In case anyone is wondering why I posted here instead of on the SSM board I felt it didn’t need a neon sign display for what I wanted to convey.

Always like your even handed posts on all subjects Ed. Hopefully you will never have to "moderate" and get in the mud puddle. But if you do, I am sure you will do well. Good luck and may your calling give you good reason to logon everyday and be engaged.

Reloader22 Thanks. You also appear to have a very good demeanor that I feel is necessary when expressing view points in a discussion. Look forward to future discussions. As for mud puddles I will try to steer around them if possible but If I need to get a little dirty so be it. The mud eventually washes off, chuckle.

Again thanks for the congratulatory welcome. The other day I noticed humor shared and felt really good to see this happen again. As long as it is good clean fun I hope to see more of it. Also it suggest to me the board is coming alive again. The old days may be gone but the new days ahead show promise of what Doug's board was meant to be.

It was great to see you come back Ed and congratulations on becoming a moderator. Seeing your posts always reminds me of the good old days. Always tinkering with something or coming up with a new invention. Love it!

It was great to see you come back Ed and congratulations on becoming a moderator. Seeing your posts always reminds me of the good old days. Always tinkering with something or coming up with a new invention. Love it! Thanks for the kind words and congratulatory response. Some also feel the good old days are completely gone but I beg to differ. From what I gather is that a period of Trolls did a lot of damage in my absence but I believe this board and members are resilient enough to make a good come back. I used to enjoy reading almost every day about everyone's outings and results shared. I really hope to see some of this returns and less threads not having my handle. So far I don't need to be a Moderator but just an active member enjoying my time here. Yeah I've always been a tinker at heart and my incentives to explore an idea originates from here. Seems I'm running out of mechanical projects to try and build but a new one with getting my PT unit operational again has filled in. A curiosity of further studying different powder burn rates under certain conditions has taken hold. This will be an ongoing project for some time to keep me interested, chuckle. I will say its nice to be surrounded by old friends again and new ones with the same interests. Ed
