As flattered as I am by your proposal, I would decline the position. I feel that I can be of the most value by simply contributing my experience to this forum, but I wouldn't relish the job of moderating anything. (I'm not going to be moderating the recording.org forum anymore, either.)
For example, I wouldn't have deleted Alan's response about the sonic properties of his new B series, since he's the only person to have heard them so far, and I trust his opinion as an engineer, although it must be tempered by his obvious stake in the success of these microphones. And I would certainly have cut the Stephen Paul thread short.
About the only thing I would do if I were a moderator here, would be to remove all those "Harvey Rules!" posts and all the bump stuff in the big thread to make it easier to read.
It's also hard for me to remain strictly neutral, since I count a lot of people as friends who are involved with microphone design and manufacturing, such as: Stephen Paul, Alan Hyatt (SP), Brent Casey (MXL), David Satz (Schoeps), Karl Winkler (Neumann, Sennheiser), Taylor Johnson (Oktava, T.H.E.), Carl Brauner(Brauner), Wes Dooley (AEA), Scott Dorsey, and Stephen Sank (RCA re-builds).
As a result of these friendships, I'm privy to a lot of internal information about some of these products, and future products, which I can't share here, since I was told in confidence.
As a person who's designed a couple of mics, I recognize the difficulty in actually coming out with new products, and I applaud all these manufacturer's efforts. I also try not to put anybody down, although I will state my opinion when I feel someone is putting out what I consider to be a below par product.
As a moderator, I would feel that I would have to show more of a neutral attitude on a lot of subjects that come up here. Being just a member here, I can voice my opinion, and have people recognize it's just that - my opinion.
To me, being a moderator is like wearing a badge. And that always reminds me of that wonderful scene in Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles":
"Badges? BADGES? We don' need no stinkin' badges!"
If my evaluations about certain microphones match other people's evaluations about the same microphones, then perhaps my findings on unfamiliar microphones will be of some use to people here. I don't need a badge to do that already.
Thanks for the nomination, but no thanks.
