I've found that I can either moderate OR participate occasionally, but I cannot do both. I really miss participating, which I hope to do more of in the future.

The new moderator will be provided with all of the records I've kept over the past year and the projected monthly patterns chosen by winners. You won't be starting out cold, and I'll be glad to help get you oriented in any way I can.

I've really enjoyed moderating this past year or so, but believe it's time for a fresh approach from a new (or old) face.

I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well & also sorry you need to drop out as moderator. But I can certainly understand that paired with time constraints it could be overwhelming. And it's unfair that you not participate in the swaps - after all, that's where the fun is!! You have done an excellent job as moderator & leave some big shoes to fill!
Hope things slow down for you soon - & that you feel better even sooner! :)
