Sorry - I feel as if I didn't explain myself very well. I didn't mean to say that I have any reservations about Xenophon as mod, only that I feel as if I "know" the others, from their posting history, and I don't know Xenophon in the same way.
Xeno, my apologies if I seemed to be expressing any doubts about your abilities - definitely not my intent.
No, you were fine. Just wanted to increase your comfort level.
I never learned Latin. It wasn’t a problem until I graduated from law school. It turns out my diploma was in Latin. So, I have a diploma I can’t read.
I am suspicious, though. The diploma uses the words “Inspectoribus” several times, which clearly means “Bus Inspector.” So, I think I’ve been practicing law using a Bus Inspection School degree.
Please don’t tell the bar. I’m close to retirement.

I did not feel doubted from your post at all. I just hoped to provide some more context and history. Moderation will only work if everyone is comfortable with those of us at the wheel so I hope everyone will always feel that they can speak their mind on the topic.

dastardly stem seems to have all of the qualifications for the job, but I'm still not entirely convinced he wasn't kidding. Plus, he hasn't been around as long as the others, so what does everyone think?
How long have others been around? I've been posting here on and off for over a decade. Not that I need to compete with anyone else. Just curious what is meant by "hasn't been around as long".
I'd be happy to help. And that's serious. Sounds like, though, the crew under consideration is quality enough and is ready to go.

I'm sure you were here before I was. I don't recall my old registration date.

for what it's worth, since I asked if we would be given any say in choice of mods (though, of course, Shades has already made his decision on the first three), I am in favour of the three/four musketeers: Res Ipsa, Xenophon, and canpakes, and dastardly stem if he wasn't joking.
Apart from Xenophon, I've seen them post over several years between here and the mormondiscussions board. I don't remember, or cannot id, Xenophon from the old board. OTOH, I trust Shades' judgement on this decision.
malkie if it helps hearing from someone you've known for a very long time, I vouch for Xeno without reservation.

I don't remember specifically when I first signed up either. It was at least 10 years ago.
