Well Marko, it is what we asked for and it is very courageous for them to step up. I personally have mixed feelings however I will get over it.

I don't know Growler,(as in haven't read many of Growler's posts) but Hazel seems a friendly, levelheaded sensible person, good mod. material IMO. A thankless task, a bit like judging horses or other animals, in that you can't please all of the people all of the time, so I thank all of the mods actually, whether hidden or not.

I have always gotten along with both, which makes sense to me as I've never had a problem with either as mods. I'd like to know who the others are though, if they are comfortable with letting us know. I haven't seen growler on much recently off the top of my head, but she has always been just as friendly as hazel.
I'm glad that you both stepped up and thank you to Marko for working to make the forum friendlier I hope the other mods decide to "unmask" themselves and see that it's not all so bad!

What?! Blackbear?! I thought I was Carnac! Darn!
I want to thank everyone for the sincere good wishes... hazel had to reveal, though... That bear is so hard to control! Kept accidentally posting in the TJT

LOL, those blackbears are a little hard to control.
I know you can not possibly be Carnac, unless you are capable of teleportation

Am I allowed to ask how one becomes a moderator? Not in an accusing way, I'm just curious how the process works Is there an application?
