@Saud, you don't have to write articles in the newsletter.
But being a moderator is sure a responsible task. Moderators are vital members in this forum and we really depend on them a lot so if you believe you won't be able to take the responsibility, tell me so in a pm. =]
@MU, It's summer and I know many good members would be away taking a break that's why other admins suggested we give it more time so that everyone gets the chance to apply.
