I would like to add that the comments about moderator/member were made because most of us know the moderators are officials and members also. I have never thought, "Oh, Joe Blow made that comment as a moderator". Now, I'm not on here enough to read things that would suggest there is more to it than that so...

Sure... and the majority of the time that makes sense.

But I'm sure you can also see the reason he wrote that. "If I wanted to read that tripe, I'd read it on the link itself. (Written as a member, not a mod.) "

If he said that without a disclaimer, someone might think he meant it as a mod, and infer that users are not supposed to post comments from sites ... or some such. He wanted to be overly clear that this particular post was personal opinion, and not moderator-driven.

I tread the same line sometimes... most of the time I'm here simply as a member. But I've deleted posts I've made when I read them back and they take on a different tone than I intended if someone read them as if coming from a moderator.
