Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

I don't think the soil/composting forum needs a moderator, at least not at first.

If enough people are interested we'll be more than happy to make the forum!

When the time is right, "Soil and Composting" would be my most-watched forum.

BTW: Thanks, Dave, a whole lot, for all three sites you created. I discovered DG less than a year ago.

Dave, yes Corey is heavily into Soil and Composting. Even though he's only been on DG less than a year he's contributed a lot of informed knowledge to that forum along with PuddlePirate. If you decide to create a forum for that in the future those two would make excellent moderators.
