Jillgat will not longer moderate Comments on Cecil’s Columns; she’s got some real life stuff to attend to and can’t hang with us.
For the time being, CKDextHavn will moderate CCC, stay tuned for further developments.

Umm, when Jillgat was in charge we were allowed to eat all the cookies we wanted and watch all the TV we wanted and stay up as late as we wanted so I hope these same rules will still be in effect under the new moderator since this is what Jillgat would have wanted.
Only if you share the cookies with all of the other moderators.
Even before I was a moderator, I was the DemiGoddess of Milk Chocolate on the old AOL message board. I haven’t given up that position. Everyone is supposed to send me 10% of all of your milk chocolate.
Getting it to me is YOUR problem.

The tech genius who fixed the board (Jerry?) got his chocolate because he left a business address.
Yeah, and Jillgat promised us each a pony, when we finished all our cookies.
How bout it, Dex?
Ponies! You betcha.

Yeah, sure, I’ll get you a pony… there’s a slight charge for shipping and handling, of course.
(( Thinking to self: Hmmm, lesse, I buy some Pretty Ponies for about $4 a piece, I ship 'em out, charge $1,000 for handling… that should do it. ))
Your name is driving me nuts. I know it’s from a play, but which one?
It’s the shortened form that I had to use when screen names on AOL could only be 10 letters long. Spelt out, it’d be:
C K Dexter Haven
Fanny May (re: CKDextHavn’s screen name):
Fanny May - I am so glad that you asked that (and that I happened to find the post.) Those are my sentiments, exactly.
CKDextHavn - Thank you for answering. What are the ‘C K’ and ‘Dexter Haven’ references to? (I can’t know everything, but if you tell me this, I’ll be one step closer. 
)
C.K Dexter-Haven is a character in Philip Barry’s play The Philadelphia Story
Made into movies:
— The Philadelphia Story (1940)
Cary Grant … C. K. Dexter Haven
Katharine Hepburn … Tracy Lord
James Stewart … Macaulay (Mike) Connor
The musical version: High Society (1956)
Bing Crosby … C.K. Dexter-Haven
Grace Kelly … Tracy Samantha Lord
Frank Sinatra … Mike Connor
Not to be confused with the other “High Society” movies, nor Philadelphia (1993)
Tom Hanks … Andrew Beckett
Denzel Washington … Joe Miller
Roberta Maxwell … Judge Tate

Thank you, Show_Biz!!
Hey, have you guys ever heard CKDextHavn sing?
He sounds remarkably like Der Bingle.
I’m sure you’ll all join me in applauding our newest moderator, Arnold Winkleried.
He’s our new guy in Comments on Cecil’s Columns and I think he’s gonna be great.
The rest of you that put in applications for moderator gigs, sit tight; we’re getting it together, there’s new stuff coming really soon.

And here’s my acclaimed imitation of “Der Bingle”: (clears throat)
(giant cane yanks him off-stage)
Congrats Arnold!
Congratulations, Arnold! I can’t think of anyone better suited for the job - you’ll be terrific. And you get a free coffee mug - I swoon with envy!
Way to go, Arnold! I know you’ll do a great job!
