I don't think I know of a practice of people directing discussion, (without handing out voices or taking them away), so hence my confusion. I am not sure we have a simular word in danish, at least my english-danish dictionary doesn't give clue of one (except 'modererer', which I expect to be an imported word; looking it up in a danish dictionary, it has the meaning to make quiet someone or something). Thanks for clearing this up! Dabian .
