Bill, I dunno if you're aware of this but the software now supports multiple moderators at once. You can arrange to give Rusty moderator rights for the duration or even keep him around in case you miss anything - and I too think Rusty would be a good choice.
I think the limit is five moderators max? We have several forums now with three moderators, so when Gelbu comes up to speed add him in?
Over in Community, adding Vampire Gerbil in as co-moderator has been a great help and will prove critical while I'm dealing with this upcoming trial.
Anyways, Godspeed, I think you'll find that the total loss of biz for that month will be small or non-existent; expect the month after that to be swamped though
because people will be willing to wait.
And I know a certain prototype item will be headed back too, which makes me very happy
.
