Reporting for janitorial duty.
I have been at our site for three and a half years now and I'm totally addicted. Might as well try and give something back to the best math site I've ever seen.
The main reasons why I think I am a good choice are:
- Math/career experience. I have been exposed to diverse corners of math, educational systems on both sides of the Atlantic, 25 years of teaching at college/university level, as well as interfacing with programmers/telcomm engineers during my shortish industry stint.
- I like to think I'm moderate (don't we all?). I will occasionally get caught in a heated debate. But after the initial shockwave has passed I try to bury the hatchet and look for a compromise.
IMO my major shortcomings are:
- Lack of time elsewhere in the SE network. I have never participated in our network wide meta, and thus I only have second hand exposure to SE philosophy. The moderators are our main link to SE staff, so I will have a lot to learn there. I have never moderated a site before.
- I'm not sure about the level of my emotional intelligence - you be the judge.
If given a bigger broom to wield I will be more careful about how, when and where I sweep.
