thanks mort, i am happy to be a researcher on this site. i would just like to know: are there promotions on this website (i.e. do you get a hierarchy?)?

Not so much a hierarchy but there are volunteer groups. There are a few which do different jobs.

The only employed staff here are what we call the 'italics', because there name always appears in italics in posts and they are Natalie and Jimster.

There are also moderators - they are independantly employed to deal with any posts that breal the <./>houserules</.> and remove them from the site - and then the staff check their decisions. But they are not researchers on the site.

You can find out about the volunteer schemes at <./>volunteers</.>

Hope that helps

Mort
