Our moderationn team has changed and morphed over the years. Amy
graciously stepped up and volunteered to take up the mantle and has
worn it with aplomb for quite some time.  

Jan also volunteered but technical issues with our software don't
allow her to actively moderate.  She does get to see all the behind
the scenes goings on.  I still moderate on occasion as does Jay
(mostly he just deals with the technical stuff), usually when Amy
isn't available. I've been sick a lot this past year unfortunately so
haven't paid as much attention to this newsgroup as I normally
would. I usually check for traffic and let Jay know if things seem to
be stuck.  He does have a full time job including keeping up with new
programming languages and such when he is at home.  Amy and Jan both
also have real lives andd aren'ttied to a chair focusing on this
newsgroup.   

Sometimes things get dropped. The nature of usenet is such that
sometimes bits pass into the outer darkness. There are fewer and fewer
relays for usenet nowadays as well so if one goes down, things get
delayed.  But we can always be reached via email.  

Also, we are real people.  Jay and I frequently attend conventions and
would be more than happy to meet anyone from the newsgroup.Then you
can report back that we aren't actually power mad ogres. Or maybe we
are.
