Any volunteers for moderating the Carnivorous / Zero Carb Approach section? You don't have to be ZC to do it, as the Carnivorous term allows for some carbs, and lately my diet hasn't really fit the carnivorous mold either. I just think you should preferably be friendly to the carnivorous approach.

I've been gradually becoming less active here and reading fewer and fewer of the threads and plan on becoming less active still, and I've been a moderator for longer than I originally intended, so I'm beyond ready to pass the baton. It has become a much less active section than in the past, so it shouldn't require much time, though in my case I tried to help out by reporting spammers and answering questions in other sections too. One of the moderators could probably add this section to their duties with little problem, for example.

It's been interesting to watch the enthusiasm for ZC and very carnivorous diets wane since I first became the moderator, both here and elsewhere, and my own leaning has tilted more toward omnivory (though I prefer my own term of adaptivory because omnivory sounds like anything goes), even though I'm still less able to handle carby foods than the vast majority of people. Learning that there's a wild tuber that's edible raw called "Eskimo potato" and finding that I handle certain rare carby foods like wild Maine blueberries far better than common supermarket carby foods really sealed the deal for me. I see my low carb tolerance as a residual health defect of mine rather than the fundamental nature of human beings or even folks of Northern European stock like myself. I'm hoping to further improve my ability to handle carby foods over time, rather than remain VLC forever.

I hope I've paid back the forum for the wonderful benefits that raw Paleo provided me. I think I've paid my dues at this point, though perhaps some might think I was more detriment than help. ;)

Thanks for the mod duties so far,PP. All I should add is that an RZCer would be best for this forum, or at least a RVLCer. There isn't all that much to do, and GMs can do the job quite well re removing spam, anyway. It's just that it helps a forum in various ways  if one has someone in charge of it who is particularly interested in that particular subsegment of rawpalaeo.

Say it isn't so!

But I bet that means that you are feeling good, not needing the forum as much and doing other things that make life good? 

Happy for you - sad for us.

Perceptive as always, Dorothy. More importantly, I'm growing bored, which probably means I'm not learning or teaching much these days. And as always, you know the right things to say to make folk feel good and gird them up for the next battle.

I volunteer.
Lovely, I've always liked your calm spirit. You're better suited as a moderator than me, I think. I enjoy too much getting into the heat of the battle and lopping heads. Thanks much.

Thanks Dorothy and Ionna. You're both gems.

I understand, GS, thanks.
