Good work, **Coldy** , and congrats. If you’re ever in the States and feel like playing rugby with a lifeless bird,(or if you just want to tip a few pints), let me know. ---

Congrats Coldfire! Just remember the old saying: “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Luckily, moderator power only corrupts moderately. Not that any of us will be able to tell any difference… ---

He edited my last post, and showed his real face… **Moderator’s Notes:** Obviously Coldfire didn’t edit your post **BornDodgy** and you are making a joke, but please don’t attmept to mislead the members in this fashion. We take a very dim view of people attempting to impersonate the staff here. Our authority comes from the good faith and trust our members have in us; attempts at misinforming the community can only serve to undermine that trust and respect. Thanks, UncleBeer, for the SDMB. Now, carry on with the roast! ---

Gelukwens, Clogboy! Searching for nice things to say about Clogboy…coming up short…ah yes, he buys only the finest Stroopwafels for his favorite Dopers. 😉 Does this mean I have to stop harassing you now, or am I covered under some grandfathering clause? ---

Well, THIS is a fine kettle of fish. Just when I get used to seeing Coldfire in chat, he becomes a mod, and thus gets a handy excuse for being absent from the chatroom. Confound your Dutch hide! You’d better not let this minor chore interfere with your chat duties, Clog-boy! Seriously, though, congrats on the mod-job. I hereby reserve the right to criticize the holy hell out of you. heheh ---

We had planned on installing it tomorrow, so all posting and thread reading could be accomplished in seconds by our fabulous board members. Unfortunately, there has been a snag in the process. We have a new moderator. As everyone knows, each moderator receieves a marvelous coffee mug. I just got finished talking with accounting. Sending a mug to Amsterdam broke our budget for this year, next year, and well into the next decade. Sorry folks, the new server will have to wait. The way the accountants were talking, I will be lucky to get a paycheck this week. > > love kisses, and apple pie. > from your darling leader > Ed. 😃 Congrats Coldy, you will do a great job! pat ---

Damn,I was waiting for my fiftieth post, to teach you a thing or too 😉 The length some people go, just so they can go back and edit their mistakes. Well done, I couldn’t name anybody more competent, inteligent and profressional for the role. Does this mean we finally have a soccer loving Mod?
