Dear Bob,
In general, most editing is normal "housekeeping" and these edits are usually commented on:
- deleting private e-mails,
- editing public e-mails,
- deleting details of living people,
- deleting copyright infringements,
- shrinking links,
- editing titles
- cropping/resizing images
- etc.
Add to that
- moving posts to a more appropriate board
And that's about 95% of what we do 
Bob
Ah yes, Bob!
But (as in most such situations) 95% is routine and, though undoubtedly important, is usually not contentious.
But what about the remaining 5%:
- it's the remaining 5% that matters
- it's that 5% which has caused in the past, and continues to cause, so much angst and frustration
- it's that 5% which discussions/debates here and elsewhere have been, and continue to be, about.
If only the 5% could be addressed in a sensible and open discussion on RC with RootsChatters and Mods entering into a reasoned discussion. And with Mods not retreating into what now seems to many of us a bunker, them against us, mentality. Sorry, but that is how it seems to many of us.
Well, aghadowey and co, I hope that you bring some fresh eyes to moderation on RC, and that you enjoy the job. RC is certainly a great site and doesn't deserve aggro. Best of luck!
JAP
