El Maniel International Inc (EMLL)

When i started this forum, there was NO ONE.

I repeat

There was NO ONE.

So i filled both positions.

There are two assistant moderators in the ibox that I allowed to be assistants because 1. no one else wanted the position, and 2. they pm'd me asking for it (promising to be diligent in assisting with updates, due diligence, and posting in their area of expertise).

So far only ONE of the assistants is doing so (our chartist) and he/she's doing an excellent job.

The others, I'm not quite certain what they are up to.

We are on a "dont ask, dont tell" policy I suppose.

I'm trying to keep the forum well balanced.

You will notice I do not remove a lot of the posts that i clearly consider to be Hyperbole and exaggerated statements to attract others to join the fray.

Even within the sticky section, appears things that I wouldnt necessarily put there. But im an equal opportunity moderator, and feel that my assistants deserve to have their say in what goes up as a sticky and what must come down.

The reason my sticky is still up there, is pretty straightforward.

It's there because it was a series of email exchanges with El Maniel management, and the Question/Answers contained within those emails go a long way in helping shed some light to the newer folks just joining the forum. It's there so redundant questions like the ones im constantly having to field, no longer need be fielded.

But even though it is there, I still field questions and state the facts as they are publicly presented to me via corporate filings.

I dig thru them and present what i feel to be a good dissemination of its contents, especially questionable contents.

I hope that helps answer your question, even though you only wanted to know why i was BOTH a mod and an assistant mod! :)
