What about a reserve/retired O6?

More relevantly to the topic. I am the new moderator behind the TIME (must remember to cap that, must remember to cap that...) Opinion Leaders blog. The point is to get people on the panels to keep coming back so they take the surveys - an online community usually gets you better response rates (and higher-quality data) than a simple online panel.

(And since I'm off the clock...Unfortunately, my predecessor and immediate supervisor didn't moderate the thing, really, except for foul language. He didn't post regularly, either. Thus, the level of bile is high, and the atmosphere is poisonous. I'm wondering whether I should just forget trying to make it a place for thoughtful, intelligent debate. Those above me could care less, but this is something of "pride of workmanship" for me.)
