It has been a quite a while since the list of abilities was posted so
for clarity and information the list of who can do what and what they 
can do is below.
I have every confidence in the moderators and administrator to continue
to look after the forum and the users in the way they have done so over
the past 'however long it is'. People don't see the forum 'housekeeping'
that goes on and it attracts little in the way of any positive attention 
yet it is really important in keeping things flowing. (And I'm not 
saying this because I'm going anywhere - I'm saying it because it's needed.)
