Hmm... what made you choose Ral? I don't see him
very active on this list at
all... last post was June 30th...
I have no idea if Ral is or isn't a good choice, but I think being an
infrequent poster is a good thing (as long as he's a frequent reader).
You can't fairly moderate a discussion you are taking part in, so if
he were a frequent poster he would either have to stop posting or not
moderate the threads he's posting to, which would make him a less
useful member of the admin team.
