tyke, bro, i wouldnt know about "better" people, i think you are a huge attribute, and wish to see you do well. from a logistics viewpoint, if you get some time under your belt, hang in there as a pundit, contribute to the community, exhibit the skills you have accomplised in the past under different and similar circumstances, im sure that you will be given an opportunity to server as a moderator.
