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. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

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. ---

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.

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. )) ---

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): > [@](#): > > Your name is driving me nuts. 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. 🙂 ) ---
