I know, one of the reasons AT was started was because of heavy handed moderator intervention.  Having gone through that on a couple different forums I appreciate the job done here.  But I have also been through a forum that was not moderated at all. It finally closed.

The time has come for a little intervention on the blog pages.  Just as an example the first page has 3 announcements and 2 machinery questions.  I know those working as moderators have lives to live and things to do.  But the blog pages need to managed a little.
