To: Lead Moderator
Our new friend seems to have an inability to properly spell intellect, despite being so much smarter than us.

Ho hum.

Now, you, Mr. Lead Moderator, I have several questions for you.

On your FR home page, I note you are identified as "LM Moderator", where LM seems to stand for "Lead Moderator". Does this not make you the "Lead Moderator Moderator"? And if so, do you also manage the department of redundancy department?

Additionally, I note that Lead (Pb) is not often used as a moderator, it is more often used as shielding. Beryllium (Be) is really a much more common moderator, as it readily slows neutrons and is much lighter than lead. If you are primarily shielding us from bad influences, then Lead Moderator makes sense. However, if you are primarily keeping FReepers from reacting in ways such that they go out of control, you're really acting more like the moderator Beryllium, in which case perhaps you should be known as the Beryllium Moderator. Truth in nomenclature and all that.

Just something to consider. Thank you for your time.

"I have several questions for you"

You rang?

"I note you are identified as "LM Moderator", where LM seems to stand for "Lead Moderator". Does this not make you the "Lead Moderator Moderator"?"

It's all just a buncha bull.

"And if so, do you also manage the department of redundancy department?"

Of course I do as a matter of course.

"Additionally, I note that Lead (Pb) is not often used as a moderator, it is more often used as shielding.

I stopped making sense at the order of the Talking Heads. But I do shield the moderators.

You two should really iron that out.
