See, this is why I love this board. The moderation is strict enough to be useful, but it is not absolute. The moderator’s mind was changed through reason. Isn’t that beautiful? Congratuations to all involved.

**Cajun Man** is a FLIP-FLOPPER!!!

As an American, he should be decisive and firm in his convictions! Stick with your original call **Cajun Man**! Be a decisive American leader. Why let newly discovered information influence you? A true leader makes a decision and never sways from it, no matter how wrong he’s subsequently proved.

You must be a liberal.

AARRRUGH!  
**Short** staffed was what I meant to write.  
I can’t type when I’m tired.  
Or think, for that matter.

Veb

Who at 5’10" hasn’t been short since kindergarten.

You’re right.

5’10" doesn’t seem like a short staff at all.

At 5’3" I think I am the shortest staff _member_. As for the shortest _staff_, well, I can’t say, having no staff at all. 😃

No, they don’t! Gaudere, you remember that mod initiation, the one where the sheep…?

A_hem_.

Never mind. No pictures were taken and any subsequent grilling was purely coincidental.

Cajun man a flip flopper?  
Does his better half know about this?  
Could there be trouble in paradise?  
Enquiring minds want to know!  
And hey, if you are a flip flopper, you have my number. 😉 Oh, and if you’re not, pay no attention to the van outside your house, or the lady inside with the binoculars.
