disagree  Gareth McMillan: The German "Moderator" cannot, IMHO, be directly translated into English. This is not about background watch-dogging as in proZ, it's more acting as a go between. The link is a DE site who have made the same mistake.

disagree  Textklick: I don't think this is meant in the same sense as Kudoz moderators. I'm sure they are talking about people live and (on screen?) during training sessions.

agree  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): talking about "chat rooms" moderator/to moderate is correct, confirmed by http://rhea.redhat.com/bboard-archive/acs_applications/000Yf...

\"What is the difference between the Native client (Windows) and the Java client?
The Java client doesn\'t require a plug-in to be downloaded and can enable attendees to get into a meeting easier and faster. Also, Mac OS and Unix users can attend using Java. However, the Java client is limited and attendees using Java can\'t be the host or presenter. Only attendees with the native client can get all of the functionality of WebEx such as sharing your own documents, applications or polling.\"

agree  Gareth McMillan: Agree- it's almost like hosting a talk show as on TV or Radio.

agree  gangels (X): moderator is someone chairing a roundtable discussion. "Host" may be best. But I'd love to listen in on the "moderierten Tutoren-Chat". Must be top IQ.
