[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Hey, let's stop dumping on Raul!

I haven't been around for several months but...

I see here a lot of complaints about no action on c.b.i.p (understandable)
and the seemingly inevitable flames about the moderator, Raul Dhesi (sp?)
who, apparently, has found himself in a new professional situation that
took up more of his time than expected, decided he had to give up moderating
c.b.i.p (a significant burden on one's time, I would imagine), recruited
someone else to take up the job and has been helping him get set up.
This I have figured out from reading a few postings just now.

I don't know the guy.  I have no connections with anyone of significance
on the net but, It seems to me ....

The guy (Raul) has done an *outstanding* job (superlatives fail me in this
respect) for *years*.

He got swamped at work (and, Lord, I can sympathized with that!)

He's doing what he can to keep things going.

I just think we should be giving R.D. an enormous vote of thanks and not
making it seem like such a thankless job for the new guy.

Just my $.02

(Don't bother flaming me, I may not be back for another few months)
