I still say if it's volunteer why not have a deputy to cover the areas of their expertise. Not to say the others have any less expertise. But you do find posts from the aforementioned candidates on different boards. Not all the time but a lot of the time. Love Phillipa

I hope we're all experts on civility, and that's all deputies do. I think the idea is that it's best to have someone on board to handle things quickly. So while I might not ordinarily read meds, if something happens there and I get notified, I can go there and take care of it. And if someone else is around, they can get there first.
When Dr. Bob gets the notification button, it should really help for boards that any particular deputy might not read all the time.

>I have to admit, given that there is no pay involved, I do wonder why five is better than six deputies at this time.
Thats a good point, many hands make light work :-)

Actually, it might be better if people 'monitor' the boards they *don't* normally post on. No conflict of interest there.

First-come, first-served? Thinking about it, that may have flaws..
Like a job offer, i'm not sure if this happened this time around, but maybe when the openings come up again there might be a rough figure you're willing to take on. Eg openings for X amount of deputies etc.

OMG you did too
<blush>
Sorry bout that.
Er...
Maybe with something like that it still wouldn't have hurt to check with them before posting to the boards. I mean... Yeah, you did try... I think everybody missed it. It can be hard to interpret meanings sometimes and only too easy to put a slant on it that you are expecting. I think maybe people figured that you would tell them when they volounteered if you didn't think they would get to do it. They probably figured that if you weren't trying to put them off the idea then you were probably thinking they were going to get to do it. But yeah... Maybe we interpret what we want to hear...But yeah you did try. Sorry about that.

Right. Maybe people thought that the extra ingredient was... Your approval. And maybe they thought they had got that.

Well then maybe next time once all the volounteers are in you could email them all:
'there have been n volounteers and I'm only going to take on y new deputies. do you still want to be considered for the position?'
and then if people agree to post something to the boards.

the site continues to be blessed with your choice of this new batch of deputies.
Hail new deputies!
How interesting it will be to watch the next few years of Dr. Bob's definition of civility as interpreted by himself and his all female deputy crew.
good job on clearing Bob's hurdles and passing your trial periods ladies! Congrats to our new models of civility: Racer, ClearSkies and 10derHeart!!!
