Presumably,they knew of Fraz' history on .com.So he caused a little bit of "trouble" for the .com team.In that case,he is ideal for the job as he'll know what he's let himself in for.
Fraz has also stated that he's been a customer for longer than he's worked for NTL.He also used to stir things up on the newsgroups but that didn't prevent him from being employed by NTL.
He also likes to play the Devil's Advocate. I should think that being able to see both sides of an argument is a useful quality for a moderator.
To be honest,I thought Neil & Co would have walked when Frank was pushed.I admire them for deciding to stick it out & continue what Frank started.Given the chance,I'm sure Fraz will prove to be a valuable member of the team.
BillPayer, may I congratulate you on a sensible well phrased post.

Though I have strong views about Fraz (strong enough to stop me posting there) I must agree with what you have said.

I do honestly hope that Fraz does not abuse his position and that .com tries to get the pre-buyout 'feeling' back. If ever that 'feeling' does return, I will be back there like a shot.

A most illuminating thread I must say
Hi Fraz,

I've been watching the thread on .com and you have avoided answering a simple question, I'll give it to you straight with YES / NO options, should you wish to reply.

1, Did Neil, Mick or Ben aproach you RE: the position before you took the position? YES/NO
2, Did AshG aproach you RE: the position before you took the position? YES/NO

Simple enough mate.

As you've addressed the post directly to me I'll pop back out from the shadows

As I've recently stated at .com , I've not been asked/told not too say anything, It's a decision that I've made to respect, what I consider, certain confidences.

Now if people have problems with me being able to respect confidences then .................................................. ...........

What damage? I think everyone is getting too paranoid over this issue.

In my opinion. (as allways) I spent alot of time on .com. My post total was 1,337 but have not posted properly for ages. TBH, once it "changed" I lost intrest. The quaility of posts went down like the Titanic. I think others will agree. From what I can remember of .com Fraz helped out as and when he could. Obviously, if others have a more indepth opinion then fair enough. I dont work for NTL so cant comment further than my opinion.

One thing I will say in defence of .com. .co.uk doesn't seem to "go" as quickly as .com used to. On the other hand I haven't spent as much time on .co.uk as I did on .com. Due to my current job.

The other point I'll make is that I thought that at NO time what so ever should people make personal diggs, direct points towards one another.

I not saying for one min that I have never been guilty of the above but in this case...........

get real peeps...... Who HONESTLY gives a toss who is a mod/admin/editor on .com? I dont care who shops in the shop next door to where I shop.
