Luftwaffe Badge Forum Moderator - Thomas Durante

[Marc Garlasco]

Hans is an erudite collector with excellent skills of observation...

[Thomas Durante]

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the congratulations.

Hans, the position is EXACTLY what it is, I am a MODERATOR. Its not a moderator's position to comment on every single thread with their opinions of originality or whatever. On the contrary, I think it is much better to have other collectors weighing in with their opinions rather than a "know it all mod" being the first one to jump in all the time. The true role of a moderator is to oversee the forum and make sure the threads and content stay on track and are cordial.

It certainly helps to have a good, working knowledge of the badges discussed in your specific forum, which I can assure you that I have

Haha, is your wife talking about me again

I think there is a picture of us at the table from the SOS floating around the forum somewhere, isn't there? We were selling books, my CCC book and your flak book........oh wait, yours still isn't ready yet.

Yeah, it's over twice as big as yours so it's taking longer for the monks to hand-write all the copies...

I sent Tom (Thomas) a 'congratulations PM' yesterday, but today I'll make it public, and want to add that I met Tom at the SOS this last spring. He's a true gentleman who has natural leadership skills and I feel will do us a great job on the forum as a moderator. Once again, 'Congratulations, Tom!'. This forum just got even better!
